Lamrock Committee

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (13:33:00):

I acknowledge the hard work and continued dedication of the Lamrock Committee at St George Hospital, a group of ladies who give their time and effort to raise money for vital hospital equipment, and who recently held a very successful monster garage sale at the Oatley Uniting Church hall. The sale boasted a range of homewares, books, toys, sporting goods, small furniture, collectibles and plants, along with a range of food from their barbecue and cake stall, and tea and coffee. All funds raised from the sale directly benefited the St George Hospital. The Lamrock Committee, formed in 1991, was named after Dr James Lamrock who became one of the founders of the St George Cottage Hospital, which was opened by his wife, Margaret, in 1894. Dr Lamrock was the hospital's first senior medical officer. On behalf of all members of this House I thank the Lamrock Committee for their commitment to serving the community for over 28 years and for playing a positive part in the recovery of many patients in the St George area. On behalf of my electorate I thank them for their contribution.
