Merry
Christmas & Welcome
To
keep all Illawarra Branch Clubs informed on current news and
developments, The Illawarra
Credit Union is helping by sponsoring this news page.
McDonald's
Invitational Bulli 30/11/02
McDonald's
has supported the McDonald's Carnival and SLSI since 1998.
"We are proud to be associated with Surf Lifesaving Illawarra
and in supporting such an important community service,"
said Katia Dwarte, owner /operator of McDonald's Warilla.
We
are grateful for the support from McDonald's, without which
we wouldn't be able to hold carnivals such as these and develop
other important initiatives. McDonald's restaurants in the
Illawarra region have been dedicated contributors to the area
since the first Illawarra restaurant opened in 1977. McDonald's
support for the 17 surf clubs in the region encompasses funding
for new rescue equipment for each club, the Junior Volunteer
of the Year award program and in 2003 will be helping us with
funding for a youth leadership camp for 13 and 14 year old
Rookie Lifesavers.
The
Bulli March Past Team show their style.
"Giving
back to the community is a fundamental part of McDonald's
in the Illawarra region. It is important to provide our junior
surf lifesavers with the best opportunities for developing
their talent and provide our community with safe beaches."
Said Katia Dwarte.

NSW
Interbranch Championships 14/12/02
Our
Branch Team travelled to Stockton Beach Newcastle and came
home with excellent results. The team finished in 5th position
on 619 points, the best ever achieved by a combined team.
This was a result of every member supporting each other, helping
out whenever possible and competing to the best of their ability.
All team members gave 100% on the two days on competition.
Congratulations to Dean Buttel, Mathew Hiesly from Wollongong
City and Josh Minogue from Thirroul who have been selected
as part of the NSW team to compete at the interstate in Tasmania
later in January. As well as three members being selected
for the state team the highlight of the weekend was to win
the Life Saver Relay the 'blue ribbon' event of the carnival.
Our winning team of 9 members was: Mathew Freeman (swimmer),
Mathew Heisly (board paddler), Downie Langthorne (ski), Michael
Astill (run), Jack Patison (sweep), Seb James, Aaron Greenhalgh,
Adam Prentice and Steve Drysdale (rowers).
Congratulations
to all our team and special thanks to Team Manager Trish Whant,
Assistant Manager Steve Rosa and Team Coaches Dennis Allen,
Kevin Starling and Leonie Langendam. Without all their efforts
in putting the team together Illawarra would not have achieved
our excellent results.
Thankyou
to our sponsors for the Branch Team: McDonald's and Integral
Energy.
