Lawyer joins Red Shield team

Mr Geoff Corah of Peninsula Law has joined Mingara Recreation Club chief executive officer Mr Paul Barnett and Kevin Gregory of Landin Realty as newcomers to the Salvation Army Central Coast Red Shield Appeal committee.

Committee Chair Cr Peter Hale said he hoped that the expertise and experience of the three new committee members would assist The Salvation Army in closing the gap between revenue generated on the Central Coast and funds that The Salvation Army commit to their programs in the region.

"The Central Coast is still one of the few regions in Australia where The Salvation Army commits more money than it collects," Cr Hale said.

"I'm sure that the addition of Mr Barnett, Mr Gregory and Mr Corah to the Red Shield Appeal committee will make significant inroads toward turning that around.

"They are well known and well respected among our business community."

The Salvation Army on the Central Coast is currently accepting donations to the Red Shield Appeal.

Anyone willing to spare several hours over the doorknock weekend of May 24 and 25 to be a volunteer collector should telephone The Salvation Army Central Coast on 4325 5614.
