Lugarno Football Club 60th Anniversary Dinner

Mr MARK COURE (OatleyMinister for Multiculturalism, and Minister for Seniors)

——Speaker, I rise today to thank the Lugarno Football Club for hosting a night of laughs, memories, and good food at their 60th Anniversary Dinner, to which I was kindly invited. Started in 1962 by four local men who wanted to bring the game of Soccer to Lugarno and neighbouring areas, the Lugarno Football Club has grown over 60 years to a local institution. Whilst the club has faced their fair share of challenges throughout the years, the spirit of volunteering and participation is still very much going strong. Grassroots sport is so important to our local community, as well as communities across the state. It gives both young and old the opportunity to stay fit, make life-long friendships and get involved in this wonderful sport. I'd like to thank the President of the Club, Michael Jarevski as well as the Vice President, Atef Elassi, club Secretary, Katie White and the Treasurer, Tim Roff. You all do such a fantastic job, and this night wouldn't have been possible without you all. I look forward to many more anniversary dinners that I'm sure Lugarno Football Club will continue to host over the coming years.
