60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY | MICK and KAY KIMMITT

Posted on by

Please join us all in wishing a very Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to two of our absolute legends, Kay and Mick Kimmitt! These two love birds are so much a part of the fabric of our club and we are indeed so fortunate to have them.

Both are Life Members because of their unfailing devotion in volunteering at the Hawka. In fact, our Club Person of the Year Award is named in their honour. Two sons – Peter and Robert – are also Life Members of the club, so the family’s contribution to Boronia over several decades is immense, and is a continuing legacy. To achieve a Diamond Wedding Anniversary is a wonderful event and we wish them both a very happy celebration with their family.

This $5 million investment will ensure that @boroniahawksfnc,Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club – Junior and @boronia_cc have the facilities they deserve.

We believe it to be a vote of confidence in our ongoing commitment to maintain a strong and inclusive environment for our players, their families and all our members and local supporters.

Thank you to MACEY RYAN and MCR ELECTRICAL for Player Sponsorship of GEOFF BELL for the 2024 season.

“Joffa” has now racked up 31 games for Boronia Vets, and can always be relied on for 100% effort. The same can be said off-field where Geoff is one of our most dedicated and hard working volunteers, always lending a hand at Auskick and at match days. A great club man.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOCIAL & COMMS CONTRIBUTORS

Posted on by

We are looking for some extra volunteers who would be able to help spread the load of looking after our social media and other communications like email.

Rather than the responsibility sitting with just one or two, we are looking for a few motivated people across the playing groups and supporter base who can commit to taking on specific tasks on a recurring basis each week to ensure we can communicate all the great things going on at our club in a sustainable way as the club continues to grow. Depending on the time you’d like to commit you could take on one of the tasks or maybe a few.

You may already have some skills in this area, be keen to learn more or are just looking for a way to throw your hat into the ring. Any training you would need on the systems we use would be provided and most items are now templated.

Some of the key tasks include:

  • Women’s Football & Netball Team Announcements
  • Men’s Football Team Announcements
  • Game Day Score Updates & Saturday Scoreboard Summary
  • Sharing relevant updates during the week e.g., Hawka Lotto, posts from junior page
  • Sharing posts from other relevant pages e.g. EFNL, Premier Data, Media etc
  • Sharing photos after games
  • Promoting club & player sponsors, sharing relevant updates
  • Promoting community partner offers
  • Promoting club events & news
  • Managing and distributing an email newsletter (something new)
  • Replying to messages
  • We’d also be keen to hear from anyone who would like to volunteer their photography, videography or graphic design skills in any way throughout the season or on a regular basis.

If you are interested in putting your hand up, please email me at boroniahawksfc@gmail.com with your expression of interest!

Thanks

Jax Phillips, Director of Communications
