PINE RIVERS STALWARTS AWARDED LIFE MEMBERSHIP - 27 JANUARY 2009

'GUS' (John) DUNDAS and 'Knocka' (Chris) WHITE - LIFE MEMBERSHIP PRESENTATION

At the Monthly Meeting of the Pine Rivers Sub Section on 27 January, 2009, Sub Section President Darby Ashton

presented Life Membership Certificates and Badges to two stalwarts of the Sub Section who both, for many

years had provided the Sub Section with endless benefits and entertainment.

Gus has been 'Santa Claus' for as

many years as you might care to remember, a past President of the Sub Section (and many other positions)

and a participant in every conceivable social event imaginable. HIs contribution to the NAA and the Sub Section

has been magnificent. From piping at commemorative occasions to bouncing children on his knee - or putting his

shoulder to the wheel, Gus has always been there for the NAA and the members - congratulations Gus.

Chris is in the same class. From organising charity golf days for years to benefit the social welfare activities of the

Sub Section to holding many positions including presidential, Chris has had the welfare of his mates and the

members of the Sub Section at his heart. He has undertaken visits to sick members at home and generally

over the years provided that 'extra' mile that some will not travel. Always the first to stick his hand up and volunteer

to take on a needed job around the Sub Section, Chris' contribution and achievement have been a wonderful

asset to the Sub SEction. - Congratulations Chris!
