WARWICK Credit Union CEO Lewis von Stieglitz was delighted to announce a further $1500 in grants to the Allora community last Wednesday, 30 November.
The funds will be shared by the Allora RSL, the Allora Men’s Shed, the Allora Senior Citizens Association and the catering department of the Allora P-10 State School.
“The Allora community are great supporters of the Warwick Credit Union and we, in turn, are always looking for ways to give back,” Lewis said.
Representatives of the RSL, the men’s shed, the Senior Citizens Association and Allora State School were thrilled to receive the funding boost.
The grant couldn’t have come at a better time for the Allora Men’s Shed.
Its members are faced with the challenge of building a new shed on a new site so all contributions are more than welcome.
And every year, Year 10 students from Allora P-10 State School visit Canberra to learn about how the government works. The school’s catering students are responsible for fundraising a large proportion of the cost.
“This donation gets our fundraising off to a great start for next year,” said the school’s Robyn Westerman.
Warwick Credit Union has been providing full service branch banking to Allora since 1992.
“We are a local, customer owned institution so profits stay right here in our community,” Lewis said.
