Thank you to the thousands who attended our dawn service and the many, many volunteers who participated in the service to help make it possible.

We were honoured to then also host ceremonies for Anzac Day football matches with Sturt Football Club
Glenunga Rams Footy Club
Goodwood Saints Football Club

Community is what makes these days. And we are grateful to be part of ours.

A final thanks to our RSL sub-branch volunteers for your tireless efforts to prepare, participate in and organise all the events over the last week. From school visits, to speeches and setting up chairs. You are an amazing team.
