Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL sub-branch will be holding Remembrance Day services at the cenotaph at Ocean Grove Park and concurrently at
Memorial Hall in Barwon Heads.
Both services will commence at 10.50am on Monday November 11.
Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Sub-Branch president Phil Edwards said the significance of this day dates to the November 11, 1918, and “it is a day
when we pause a 11am to reflect on the tremendous sacrifices made by those who have served in conflicts both past and present”.
“It is a day when we remember the courage, the dedication, and the unwavering commitment of our servicemen and women who put themselves in harm’s way for the greater good,” he said.
During the week leading up to Remembrance Day volunteers will be selling poppies to raise funds to support Veteran welfare.
You will find the volunteers at Ocean Grove Pharmacy, Market Place Shopping Centre, Kingston Shopping Centre and APCO Barwon Heads.
On Saturday November 9 and Sunday November 10 volunteers will also be selling poppies at Bunnings Leopold.
For more than 100 years, the annual Poppy Appeal has supported Australian veterans and their families. Your donation will help RSL continue to deliver life-changing support to our veterans when they need it the most.
