Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Sub-Branch is ready for this year’s Poppy Appeal, with a committed group of volunteers manning three stations in Ocean Grove and one in Barwon Heads.
Not only does buying and wearing a poppy show respect for our country’s fallen heroes, but it helps raise vital funds to assist past and present servicemen and women and their dependents in times of need.
President Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Sub-branch Phil Edwards acknowledged the phenomenal commitment shown by the members and volunteers who continue to make the Poppy Appeal such a success.
“Year in, year out, our community rallies together to support the Poppy Appeal in the lead up to Remembrance Day,” he said.
“I would like to thank the local community from the very outset who support our sub-branch and wear their poppy with pride.”
Ocean Grove selling stations will be located outside Safeway’s in Shell Rd, Ocean Grove Pharmacy on the Terrace and Woolworths in Kingston village.
There is one selling station in Barwon Heads at APCO Service Station.
Remembrance Day services will be held on Saturday November 11.
A service with John Minotti and students from Barwon Heads Primary School at Barwon Heads Community Hall on Hitchcock Avenue will begin at 10.50am.
Ocean Grove Cenotaph at Ocean Grove Park will host a service at 10.50am led by Phillip Christian.
