Members at the Parkes Red Cross AGM.
The Parkes Red Cross opens on the first Friday of each month for teas and refreshments. Delicious sandwiches, home made cakes and slices with tea and coffee are served by volunteer staff .
The enthusiastic team are keen to continue and make Red Cross a valuable and effective community support.
The tea rooms, open since 1924, are a continuing social hub for all the community.
The rooms are available for event hire with several community groups booking their meeting and catering events.
The hall has a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for many clubs to cater, gather and enjoy. Attracting new volunteers recently has boosted the capacity of the Parkes Red Cross Rooms.
The popular Elvis Festival saw the rooms open for display entertainment and hydration. This was enthusiastically embraced by the avid Elvis visitors. The Rooms were a safe haven in the cool for rest and relaxation from the heat.
AGM of the Parkes Red Cross was held this week.
Our Zone Rep, Sue Sharp, of Cowra, conducted the election and all executive positions remained constant.
Parkes Branch Australian Red Cross members Val Glasheen volunteer, Marg Ward Vice President, Alison Dixon President, Hannah Dixon Secretary, Julie Westley Treasurer, Ellen Tom Publicity Officer and Norma Oliver Patron.
