The Young Hospital Auxiliary celebrated its 95th anniversary on Sunday at a luncheon at the Young Golf Club.

Over 60 ladies and gentlemen attended and enjoyed a meal and birthday cake, and were entertained by the guest speaker, Jessica Conneely.

President Janice Ward welcomed everyone and gave a potted history of the Auxiliary over the last 95 years.

Many of the past members’ names were read out and it was noted how the generations come and stay, and how many names were no longer in the district.

For 95 years members of the Young Auxiliary have supported the community of Young and district.

The guest speaker, Jessica Conneely from Dancing4Wellbeing, spoke about the importance of movement as we age.

The audience participated in an exercise that demonstrated one does not have to pump iron to keep flexible and can benefit from gentle movement.

Life member Chris Page and Janice Ward cut a delicious birthday cake which was enjoyed by all.

The fabulous raffle was drawn by Patron Nancy McGregor.

The winner, Tiffany Shean, will be able to take a group of 10 friends for a wine tasting and grazing experience at Grove Estate.

The Auxiliary was very grateful for the generous support it received from Grove Estate in arranging this wonderful prize.

Thank you to the generosity of the public who bought tickets and supported the Auxiliary.
