Mallee Local Transport Options Survey.
A survey is being conducted to identify all transport services available to the community, identify gaps in those transport services and move to looking at innovative options for Transport Service improvements.
This Information will be presented to the Transport Minister and will hopefully support the Mallee in accessing transport funding and equity for all transport users.
The survey is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MLTOPSurvey
We are aware that not everyone has internet access or the ability to complete surveys online, we are more than happy to assist in completing these over the phone on 03 5023 1906 or by providing a paper copy. If you require any additional information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Ashly or Kristie at Sunassist.

UNDERBOOL GOLF
Due to lack of numbers and being unable to get the course in a playable condition this season for 2017, golf will be in recess. As we have already payed our Golf Victorian affiliation fee we are asking members to pay their 2017 membership, to retain golf link/handicap. This year the fee is $65.00. These can be passed
to Garth, Jenny or Bev. Can these be paid ASAP.
ANZAC HISTORY UNDERBOOL PROGRESS GROUP INC is in the process of researching and collating historical information about the people who are listed on the 1914-1918 Honour Boards (Underbool, Linga, Torrita and Boinka). If anyone is interested in helping with this research, it would be greatly appreciated. Descendants living locally will have probably completed their own research and we would like to obtain copies at some stage if possible. Information being sought includes full name, age and occupation at time of enlistment, and next of kin. Please contact Fran lynch if you can help. Thank you.
