IN MEMORY OF VAL THOMAS

NAIDOC WEEK | 2-9 JULY
This weekend we will celebrate NAIDOC week across all of our senior and junior games. This is a chance for us to recognise the culture and history of the beautiful land that we play our great sport on and to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – in particular those of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, who are the traditional owners of the land where Tormore resides.
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year and is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.
A very big thank you to Indigenous club member Chloe for her Acknowledgement of Country before each of the games; and to Samantha Dunkinson for arranging and leading each ceremony.
IN MEMORY OF MONIQUE LEZSAK
Today we remember the life of Monique Lezsak, whose life was tragically cut short 2 weeks ago. Monique was the much loved cousin of Boronia Hawks player and coach Stacey Peril.
Monique was the mother of 10-year old twins, she enjoyed bodybuilding, wanted to become a Police officer and had a huge amount of life in front of her. Our Women’s Squad wore white arm bands during their most recent games in memory of Monique, in support of Stacey and as a way to raise awareness of domestic and family violence.
Please consider donating to White Ribbon in memory of Monique. This charity undertakes primary prevention of domestic and family violence in communities, schools and workplaces across the country: www.whiteribbon.org.au/Support-Us/Make-A-Donation/In-Memory
Our thoughts are with all of Monique’s family today, in particular her children and Stacey.
If you, or someone you know, requires support with family or domestic violence please contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) 24-hours a day.
$1.2M for the new Clubrooms
From our great supporter, Jackson Taylor MP: “$1.2 million to help deliver a new pavilion at Tormore Reserve in Boronia is now fully funded. In other words – you beauty!”
It was a four year journey for me since elected in 2018 to get to the commitment of $1.2 million to deliver new facilities for Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club, but it’s been an even longer journey for them.
So this is an exciting moment. With funding now in the budget that means we can move a step closer to delivering the facilities these legends and the broader community deserve.
$1 million will go towards delivering the new pavilion and $200,000 will go to helping the clubs fit-out the rooms – which means a lot of the stress that usually comes with a new home.
It’s no secret. I’m a massive supporter of grassroots sports and unashamedly so. I believe in it’s power to change lives.
And with these new facilities – it’ll make that job even easier and encourage more people to get involved, particularly girls and women who maybe couldn’t have due to the dated facilities not being fit for purpose.
This will change all that. Now, let’s get on with it!
