Thank you to the citizens of Hamilton

On behalf of the Hamilton Returned and Services Association, I warmly thank
those in the Hamilton community who donated to our RSA National Poppy
Appeal which ran during April. Please be assured that the money donated by
our generous citizens and visitors, will be managed by our Hamilton RSA Poppy
Trust to help financially assist our veterans and their families within Hamilton
and surrounding districts.
Thank you, citizens of Hamilton, for your generosity during our Poppy Appeal.

I wish to also take this opportunity to thank all of the Community groups and
organisations, HCC Contractors and the many volunteers for your contribution
and participation in ANZAC Day commemorations held on Saturday 25 th April.
Much planning makes a successful event and this was achieved thanks to the
dedication and devotion to the task by the Hamilton City Council Events
Management Team, staff and contractors. Once again, Hamilton City provided
a poignant and sincere occasion to remember and honour those who were
sacrificed during World Wars, recent global conflicts and Peacekeeping
Operations abroad, whilst also paying respect to those Service Veterans living
in our community and those currently serving in New Zealand Defence Force.
Thank you to all those local residents and visitors who attended the Anzac Day
commemorations at Memorial Park, whether it was at the Dawn service or the
Civic service. Your presence on the day is appreciated.
Thank you

Bruce Gillespie
President
Hamilton RSA
