Virtual War Memorial Australia

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual "Don't Forget Me! Cobber" lunch on Friday at Adelaide Oval! We had a fantastic time celebrating our 10th anniversary with all of you. A special thanks to our guest speakers, Mark Donaldson VC and Sally Sara AM. We were also honoured by a wonderful address from our national patron, General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove. Finally, our heartfelt thanks to Jane Doyle OAM for serving as our MC for the day. You can find a collection of over 100 photos taken by Megan Spencer on the day here: https://lnkd.in/gFErV9Ny

Today is our 10th Birthday! On 8 August VWMA marks its 10th anniversary. This milestone provides a time to reflect on what we have achieved and what opportunities lay ahead. It is also a time to pay tribute to Board Directors (present and past); our small but super tenacious team of staff and volunteers (present and past); our Patrons and Ambassadors and our incredible benefactors, donors and sponsors. Most of all we wish to offer heartfelt thanks to our member contributors who have done so much to make VWMA the outstanding collection that it is. You are our superpower and we hope to share another ten years with you. Thank you all so very much.
