Volunteer sought to co-ordinate Anzac service

The Pearl Beach Progress Association is seeking a volunteer to help co-ordinate the Pearl Beach Anzac Day Service.

"The community has traditionally come together on Anzac Day to reflect and remember the sacrifices made by so many," said president Mr Peter Romey.

"In 2019, a large crowd of locals, families and friends crowded into the Memorial Hall and garden surrounds on a glorious morning.

"Guest speakers, local community members and students from Umina Public School presented moving stories, read poems and told of their personal experiences

"The Pearl Beach Singers provided vocal leadership with appropriate songs.

"In past years, Russell Grove has professionally managed the moving program.

"Last year, Di Swalwell and Jeanette Sims took over that role and this year we are looking for a volunteer from the Pearl Beach community to undertake the role of co-ordinator and manage the 2020 Anzac Day ceremony on April 25," Mr Romey said.

Anyone interested should contact the Pearl Beach Progress Association for more information.
