The City of Lismore RSL Sub-Branch will be conducting the official Remembrance Day service and wreath laying on next Monday, 11th November 2024 at the Lismore Cenotaph at the Memorial Baths on Molesworth Street commencing at 1030hrs.
Secretary of the Lismore RSL Sub-Branch Wilson McClelland said, “The 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, the moment the guns fell silent on the Western Front after WW1, is a time for us to pause and remember those who served and sacrificed in all wars and conflicts.
"Busy lives and competing priorities mean that sometimes, that moment passes by without recognition.
"City of Lismore RSL Sub-Branch President Ken Arnett is asking the community to Remember to commit to pausing for just one minute to remember those who gave their lives in service to their country, those who returned home injured or ill, and those who bravely serve our country today”.
"There will also be a smaller service and wreath laying at the North Lismore Memorial commencing at 0930hrs; this service will be conducted by students of The Rivers Secondary College."
You can also pay your respects and support the Lismore RSL Sub-Branch by purchasing Poppy Day badges.
Volunteers from the sub-branch and auxillary will be at Lismore Square, Lismore Central, the Goonellabah Shopping Village and Bunnings. All funds raised remain in the local area.
