All the funds raised by the Sub-branch go to veterans and war widows of Young and surrounding areas. RSL Sub-branch/Auxiliary Young Secretary Colleen Beckhaus said the Remembrance Day service will commence at Anderson Park on Monday, November 11 at 11 am and everyone is invited to attend.

“As it’s a working day, after service people will go back to work,” Ms Beckhaus said. “Remembrance Day is a time to pause at 11 am and remember those who have passed, are serving and our veterans.”

A Remembrance Day Service will also be held at the Boorowa War Memorial on Monday, November 11 at 10:45 am.

Boorowa RSL Sub-branch Secretary Bernice Vernon said that after the service, the Boorowa and District Nominal Roll will be unveiled at the Boorowa Ex-Services and Citizens Club.
