UNDERBOOL PROGRESS GROUP INC. Annual General Meeting
???? Wednesday 16 September 2026 ???? 7.00 pm ???? Underbool-Linga Hall Malkin Avenue, Underbool
The Underbool Progress Group Annual General Meeting is approaching, and all community members are warmly invited to attend.
As part of the AGM, all committee positions will be declared vacant, and several long-serving members have advised they will be retiring from the committee.
Our community has been fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who have given countless hours over many years. We sincerely thank them for their commitment and everything they have done for Underbool.
Now it’s time for the next generation of volunteers to step forward.
Without a new committee, the Progress Group will be unable to continue operating, which will have significant impacts on our community.
This includes the future of:
Australia Day celebrations
???? ANZAC Day commemorations
???? Community gatherings and events
????️ Pink Lakes Pantry Community Shop,
Every role, whether large or small, makes a difference. You don’t need years of experience—just a willingness to help your community.
If you’ve ever enjoyed one of our events, shopped at the Pink Lakes Pantry, or simply want to see Underbool continue to thrive, please consider becoming involved.
Your community needs you.
We encourage everyone to attend the AGM, hear what is involved, and consider nominating for a position.
Pink Lakes Pantry News
We have a selection of Underbool Primary School Excursion and School Camp booklets dating back to 1996 to 2010 on display in the shop. (Also a Hattah trip in 2017). These are in the stand between the freezers.
These booklets contain lots of amazing photos and stories written by students (they are mostly laminated). Past students and parents are invited to check them out and please feel free to take any photos of yourselves or your children or just have a read. The books are all bound with plastic binding making it easy to remove individual pages. We hope you enjoy looking back on these amazing memories ????
Thank you Underbool Primary School, Cheers Colleen
