Dear Adrian, Committee and the DAC community,

The Kelly family would sincerely like to thank all those who attended the 45th Anniversary Dinner last Friday evening.

It was a great night which not only honoured and celebrated the history, achievements and spirit of the club but also recognised the wonderful contributions our life members have made to the culture and enduring success of DAC.

Thank you for allowing the Anniversary dinner to raise funds for the ‘Tom Kelly Development Scholarship Fund’.

Our family would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Nicole Reynolds and Stephanie Ratcliffe on their recent National team selections. Stephanie’s selection is into the Athletics Australia U17 development squad and Nicole has been accepted into the Athletics Australia U19 development squad and the Oceania Games Australian team.

Nicole and Stephanie have both been worthy DLAC recipients of the ‘Tom Kelly Development Scholarship’ award.

We were grateful that their parents, Karen and Paul and Monica and David could share the girls terrific news with us. They also acknowledged their appreciation for the monetary component of our father’s award which will be used towards the girls upcoming National competitions.

A special thank you also to Mr Duncan Large for organising and conducting the sporting memorabilia auction on the night which raised valuable funds for the scholarship.

May the unfolding year continue to fulfill personal goals and deliver Club achievement and success.

Yours Sincerely

The Kelly Family (Michael, Colleen, Brendan and Siobhan)
