Kyneton RSL Sub-Branch was awarded the prestigious Victorian State RSL Licensed Sub-Branch of the Year award in the Victorian RSL Branch Hall of Fame Awards.<\/p>\n
The sub-branch took the top title up against more than 50 other licensed sub-branches throughout Victoria.<\/p>\n
It’s an award that recognises an individual sub-branch that has successfully promoted all aspects of the RSL, has developed and maintained a successful and viable commercial operation, and sets an example for the licensed sub-branch network in Victoria.<\/p>\n
Of particular note was support shown to veterans, commemorative activities, membership growth and the quality of the operation of the sub-branch and services provided.<\/p>\n
The sub-branch’s welfare office continues to provide vital support to veterans assisting with DVA claims and providing home help to those in need, as well as conducting camaraderie nights and veterans catch-up afternoons.<\/p>\n
The sub-branch is involved with commemorative services for ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day, as well as other important days. It also supports local schools and community organisations.<\/p>\n
According to Kyneton RSL president John Taubman, one of the main reasons for the success of the sub-branch has been due to the untiring efforts of the staff ably led by general manager Rebecca Hemphill.<\/p>\n
“Without their loyalty and support, the Sub-Branch would not be in the position it is in today,” he said.<\/p>\n
To further enhance the reputation of the sub-branch, two staff members also received achievement and recognition awards on the night.<\/p>\n
Stalwart of 27 years service at the Kyneton RSL, Judy McIntyre, and head chef Dylan Thomas were both recognised for their contributions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
