Celebrating 10 Years



And what a celebration it has been. Health in Our hands, which commenced on 15th May, 2002 has been working in the Whyalla community for 10 years. Celebrations were held with:

* A luncheon for the participants at the    Centre’s room at the hospital
*A dinner for the volunteers at Roopena and
*A function at the UniSA Whyalla Campus for specially invited guests and the volunteers  

The UniSA function was organised by Kate Warren and her staff at the Spencer Gulf Rural Health School. To say that all three functions were successful would be an understatement.
A special gift was presented to the four original members still active at the centre for their 10 years of service. The presentations were made to Paul Holmes, Mary Holmes, Chris Broadhead and Colin Stephens.

When Paul was asked whether he would still be there after another 10 years, he laughingly replied that he hoped that he would still be around to still be taking part.

Paul thanked all the volunteers who have worked so hard to make the Health In Our Hands a success and thanked the current volunteers for their dedication and hard work.
