You may remember being asked to vote for our club back in November via facebook. Well, THANK YOU EVERYONE, our Club won one of those grants.Lisa and Jasmine attended the birthday celebrations held at the Calwell branch on Wednesday, 13 December 2017. Special guests included Minister Mick Gentleman MLA, a Member for Brindabella, and the Assistant Minister for Social Services and Multicultural Affairs Senator Zed Seselja. The six $500 grants were awarded by Mr Neale Guthrie, Chair of the Canberra Community Bank® Group to local organisations that have helped the Tuggeranong community, as nominated and voted by Tuggeranong residents.
