Stan Rusiniak and Dianne Sapwell were re-elected as president and secretary of Ocean Grove Seniors Club at the AGM recently.
Jac Renzenbrink was elected and welcomed as the new treasurer.
Going forward the executive will be supported by an eight-member committee to assist with planning, upkeep and coordinating the activities of the club.
“We welcome all committee members and we are looking forward to supporting and encouraging the seniors in the Ocean Grove community towards a healthy lifestyle and the joy of living,” Mr Rusiniak said.
“Club members value the friendship, fun and diverse range of the social programme on offer. They include, social outings, in-door bowls, bingo, chess, cord club, card playing, drawing and social afternoons and all in a relaxed caring environment. “It’s all free or nominal cost with an annual $30 subscription. Great value for very little outlay.”
The highlights of last year were the frequent barbecues and lunches, Christmas concert and party, community high tea with support of the Dove and local CWA.
A new reading room with a good library, puzzles and DVD/CD was welcomed by club members.
The club is working to improve street parking and disabled access to the clubrooms with the City of Greater Geelong and a petition is currently circulating.
