The Cranbourne Greyhound Racing Club has made a generous donation to the local RSL for the Anzac Appeal Welfare Fund.
The Greyhound Racing Club donated $1000 to the Cranbourne RSL shortly before Anzac Day, as part of a winder show of support from Greyhound Racing Victoria for the RSL.
This is the second year in a row the Cranbourne Greyhound Racing Club has lent support and donated money to the RSL.
The RSL’s Welfare Patriotic Fund raises money through Remembrance Day and gifts from former servicemen and women to help returned veterans adjust back into civilian life.
Cranbourne RSL Vice-President Bill Shepherd extended his gratitude to the Cranbourne Greyhound Racing Club for their donation.
“I and other members here express our gratitude and appreciation,” he said.
The racing club also supported the RSL on Anzac Day by selling badges and giving RSL members free drinks and entry to the clubrooms.
As part of supporting the RSL, the racing club also allows the RSL access and use of their clubrooms for meetings or members’ catch-ups.
