Mortdale Probus Christmas Lunch

Mortdale Probus Club's Christmas Luncheon

Thursday, 27 February 2020

I inform the House of the success of the Mortdale Probus Club's Christmas luncheon.

Mortdale Probus Club assists semiretired and fully retired individuals to continue to engage with the community.

The club gathers monthly at Mortdale RSL, the same venue where the Christmas luncheon took place. Given its connection to local Rotary clubs Mortdale Probus is in a unique position to be able to benefit the whole community, not just retirees.

The luncheon was a great occasion that provided the opportunity to wind down after what had been a productive year for the club.

Community Christmas Party

Tuesday, 25 February 2020

Speaker, I rise to inform the House of the success of the 2019 edition of Oatley's Community Christmas Party.

The Community Christmas Party, which I have the pleasure of hosting every year, is one of my favourite events on the calendar, as it is a chance to celebrate the community achievements of the year just passed.

2019's Christmas Party brought together 130 of our community leaders, a number which rises every year.

As I addressed the room, what resonated with me was the strong spirit of service present amongst the guests.

O'Connors Pharmacy 60th Anniversary

O'Connor's Pharmacy

Tuesday, 25 February 2020

I congratulate O'Connor's Pharmacy on its sixtieth Anniversary celebration held at the pharmacy in Frederick Street, Oatley.

I was delighted to attend the celebrations and witness the giveaways, discounts and promotions on offer.

The O'Connor family has been caring for Oatley since 1959, providing a consistently high level of service and priding themselves on a customer-oriented approach.

Current owners Tony and Gillian O'Connor commit themselves to values of decency, hard work, compassion and professionalism.
