A Friend in Need
The Child Migrant Friendship Society held its Annual General Meeting on 4 February 2001 at the McCauley Centre Hall in Leederville.
The meeting elected office bearers for the coming year.
Long-term President Maureen Colgan was re-elected to carry on the president’s role until a former Child Migrant is elected to take over the reins. Maureen also holds the position of Public Relations Officer. Mary Armstrong resigned as Assistant Secretary and Jean Cooper was elected as her replacement. Brian Hoare is representing Bindoon on the Committee.
Following the huge success of the reunion organised for former child Migrants at the WACA in June last year, another reunion is planned for Sunday 15th July this year with a “Christmas in July” theme. Invitations will be sent out early in June. For further information contact Maureen Colgan: phone 9317 2753 (after 6 pm).
The Child Migrant Friendship Society was formed in 1982 and constituted in 1988.
Its initial purpose was to provide mutual support to former Child Migrants, including helping to locate families and raise funds for reunification purposes. Twenty-eight former Child Migrants benefited from the Society’s reunification efforts. Re-constituted in 1999 its main purpose now is to foster friendship amongst former Child Migrants.
