“We were both honoured to receive this recognition for our efforts in the sub-branch and we cannot thank the Board of Canterbury for their sponsorship and support as well as the management and staff of The Lakemba Club,” said Tim McCaw, Secretary of Lakemba RSL Sub-Branch.

Ann has been President for 21 years and is also the President of the Lakemba RSL Social Club. Tim McCaw has been Secretary for the past 2 years and has also served as the Vice President for 3 years. Some of the other community volunteer work that they both participate in includes liaising with local schools and hosting other events honouring veterans and active services.
