Georges River Council joined in congratulating the Mortdale RSL Sub-Branch and its members as they celebrate their 100th anniversary this Anzac Day.
Mayor Kevin Greene officially congratulated the Sub-Branch in a Mayoral Minute at last night's council meeting.
Councillor Greene said the Mortdale RSL Sub Branch has made a significant contribution to the local community over the years through the support they have provided to returned servicemen and women in the Georges River area.
"This year marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Mortdale RSL Sub-Branch. On March 13, 1919, less than six months after the end of the Great War, Mortdale was given its charter to represent local returned sailors and soldiers.
"Over 100 years the Sub-Branch has provided for its members, catering for the physical, emotional and social needs in a caring, compassionate environment.
"The underlying principles of the charter have been maintained and indeed strengthened.
"Our community is grateful for their ongoing efforts and we congratulate Mortdale RSL Sub Branch on this significant anniversary," he said.
"Anzac Day is a time to remember the sacrifice Australians have made for our country, and this Anzac Day I'd like to encourage everyone to also take a moment to consider the great work that the Sub Branch continues to do, in supporting those in our community who have served their country.
"Over 100 years, the Sub-Branch has provided for its members, catering for their physical, emotional and social needs in a caring, compassionate environment."
