EOI: Farewell dinner for NSW SES Senior Chaplain Steve Hall
We recently sent out an email regarding expressions of interest (EOIs) for a farewell dinner honoring the esteemed NSW SES Chaplain, Mr. Steve Hall, who will be retiring in July. This event provides a wonderful opportunity for us to express our gratitude to Mr. Hall for his dedicated service to the NSW SES and the positive impact he has had on our lives.

The proposed date for the Farewell Dinner is Saturday, 13th July 2024, and it will be held at the Bankstown Sports Club. The approximate cost per attendee is $90 and this includes a three-course dinner.

If you would like to join us in celebrating Mr. Hall's remarkable career and bidding him farewell, please kindly express your interest by emailing office@nswsesva.org.au by COB tomorrow (10th May 2024). Thank you to those who have already responded with their EOI. More details will be sent out once we have confirmed numbers over the weekend.

Stay safe in your volunteering!

Warm regards
