Treasurer Thanked After 21 Year Tenure

The AGM of the Molongle Creek Boat Club Inc saw the end of an era for the Treasurer, Margaret Linton.

Margaret has held the position for a total of 21 years and diligently kept the financial books of the club.

She has witnessed millions of dollars go in and out of the club over this period of active development of the Molongle Creek Boat Ramp facility.

Recently, the culmination of a Federal Government grant of around one million dollars to build a multi-purpose complex, housing a licenced café club rooms and a manager’s residence, has put the icing on the cake for the facility.

Margaret has been one of those who would make sure every single dollar which passes her hands was accounted for and was able to identify to the other committee members where the money went and whether it was well spent.

After 21 years, she is looking forward to retirement from the club but is concerned that there may not be another willing volunteer to take over for the future, she said.

Commodore Ken Betteridge presented her with a bunch of flowers as a small token of the tireless effort she put in.

Ken has asked members to consider taking this position of treasurer of the club to help the club move forward into the future.
