Veterans and community groups will be able to relax in the comfort of new furnishings at the Cooroy Memorial Hall, with a $65,000 Veteran and Community Grant announced today by Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien

.“Organisations like the Cooroy Memorial Hall play a vital role in supporting our veterans and their families, and this funding for new tables and chairs means they can provide a comfortable setting for events,” Mr O’Brien said.

The Cooroy Memorial Hall Association (CMHA) applied for the funding and was thrilled to be a successful applicant.

Paul Kluck, President of CMHA, remarked, “these new chairs and tables will be a great asset for our hall and our hirers, helping us to attract and support great community events. We are very appreciative of the assistance and ongoing support given to us by the RSL Sub-branch and will endeavour to keep the money spent within our local community”.
