Kerry says thanks for the memories

AFTER more than 14 years at the Cooroy RSL, Kerry Gollagher is embarking on a new adventure and she’s thanking Cooroy for the treasured memories.

Kerry told the Cooroy Rag that her first tie with the Cooroy RSL started in 2001 when she married her husband, Paul.

“We held our wedding reception at the club, way before any renovations. We were looked after very well by the “face of the Club”, Leanne. She was the functions manager at the time.

“Little did I know that five years later, I would join the team of the Cooroy RSL.”

Kerry said she originally started on the reception desk, greeting members and performing general admin duties.

“I would meet hubby, Paul, at 4.45pm (after he finished work) on the steps behind the Memorial Hall with our two young children for a quick swap over so I could attend work.

“Over the years and after many staff changes, I ended up moving to the back office and taking care of all financial duties including monthly reporting to the board with figures, as well as ensuring suppliers, staff and everything in between was taken care of.”

Kerry said that she enjoyed her position “very much” and is proud of what she achieved at the Club in her 14 and a half years of employment.

“One of my biggest treasures is working with the Cooroy Pomona Sub Branch. I have felt privileged to be held in such high regard by our return service men and women.

“I have assisted Greg Holmes and John Zupp with memberships for such a long time that even I will struggle not seeing their cheery faces every Wednesday. Every Christmas and Easter, they would spoil me with the most amazing presents. I would always get excited when the festive season was close.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of my beautiful customers whom I have had the pleasure of assisting in my time. I will miss each and every one of you.

“From Mr Durrington with his horse race tips to Mr Buckenham giving me a hard time about my beloved Broncos - you all have a special place in my heart.

“If anyone needs any assistance, Leanne will have my contact details. Stay safe Cooroy. Be nice to one another.”

Thank you, Kerry!

WE recently received the sad news that Kerry has left the Cooroy RSL.

Over the years our group of friends have enjoyed countless evenings or luncheons at the Club, to catch up and enjoy a meal in such a friendly ,relaxed atmosphere. Kerry has the ability to master and organise the table booking and bus for whoever needed it.

Even at times when we changed numbers and rearranged plans, nothing was ever a problem.

Then on the day Kerry would be there to greet and welcome us with the same friendly attitude.

Kerry, may we please express our gratitude and heartfelt thanks for your friendly and hardworking service to the Cooroy community.

Certainly a job well done.

Happy memories from: The Holmes, Stubbings, Kennedy, Ladewig, Schutt, Kelly and McGlinchey families of Cooroy.

Kerry Gollagher's links to Cooroy RSL go back to when she married Paul in 2001.
