A LIFETIME OF LOYALTY ZOE COONEY

etween the two of them, husband and wife pair Cedric and Janet Lockley have 100 years’ worth of RACT membership. This year, Cedric celebrates his 60th anniversary, and Janet her 40th. With so much ground to cover, it’s almost hard to know where to start, but Cedric’s introduction to RACT looked a little bit different back in 1960. A keen snooker player, Cedric had just turned 21 and joined RACT as a social member – he didn’t even own a car. The social club boasted, in Cedric’s words, ‘three absolutely wonderful billiard tables’. A few nights a week Cedric and ‘a real oddball collection’ of gentlemen both young and old would gather at the building on Macquarie Street to enjoy a game and meet new people. Cedric still has his first snooker cue. Given to him by his father, it’s made of laminated English ash and is still in excellent condition.
LEAVE A GIFT THAT WILL CHANGE LIVES Since 1899, the St Vincent de Paul Society – also known as Vinnies – has been dedicated to shaping just and compassionate communities and supporting people who are vulnerable in Tasmania. Vinnies 1500 members and volunteers provide practical, every-day essentials – from financial assistance when bills mount up, to meals and friendship during times of hardship and personal crisis. With the support of the community it serves, Vinnies provides hope. Hope for a better future.
One of the most important sources of funding for the Vinnies work in the community comes from people who have included a gift in their Will. Supporting the Society in this special way not only creates a lasting legacy of kindness, it plays a vital role in continuing to provide ‘a hand up’ to people in need for generations to come. You may never meet the person you have helped, but your generosity lives on in their lives.
