Edition 57 – Spring 2025 (Summary)

A Message from our CEO, Leah Taaffe

Welcome to our 57th Edition of the newsletter.

Run Echuca Moama 2025, our second major fundraising event of the year, took place on Sunday 3 August and was a great success. Together, we raised an amazing $54,309.05. The event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, local businesses and all the volunteers who help us out on the day, so a big thank you to each of you.

We are holding our Annual General Meeting on Thursday 23 October, where, amongst other items, we are farewelling Board members, Wayne Jenkin and Erin Langman. Wayne & Erin have completed the maximum term allowed on our Board, which is 9 years.

CLRS is seeking new Board members with experience and knowledge in risk management, corporate governance, financial management and accounting, asset management and/or ICT strategy and governance. If you have any of these skills and want to support the delivery of our organisation’s vision of empowering individuals and families to live the life they choose in a community enriched by the inclusion of all, please reach out to Gillian Noelker, Executive Assistant, on 03 5480 2388 or email ea@clrs.org.au. Our Board meets monthly on the first Wednesday of the month, rotating between in-person meetings and online.

Edition 57 – Spring 2025

Run Echuca Moama 2025, our second major fundraising event of the year, took place on Sunday 3 August and was a great success.

Edition 56 – Winter 2025

On Thursday 15 May, the past and present members of our CLRS Fundraising Committee gathered for a special morning tea at the Murray River Tea Rooms to celebrate an incredible fundraising milestone, raising more than $1 million since our first Annual Fundraising Dinner in 2007.

Edition 55 – Autumn 2025

It has been a very busy few months since our last Community News. Run Echuca Moama was named Murray River Council’s Community Event of the Year, and the Riverboats Music Festival was a great success.

Edition 54 – Summer 2024

Our AGM was held on the 17th of October at Echuca Workers Club and was a great opportunity to celebrate the past year with the release of our Annual Report.

Edition 53 – Spring 2024

The theme for National Carers Week 2024 is “Care for a Carer”. The aim is to encourage people to check in and connect with a carer in their own lives.

Edition 52 – Winter 2024

This time of the year means that we are preparing our budgets for 2024-2025. It also means that it is a good time to donate to a charity of your choice. We’d love you to choose us.
