National Treasurer

Dear Scheyvillians,, after holding the position for around twenty years, OTU National and OTU Victorian Treasurer, Ray Elder, has decided that it is time to retire from both roles upon completion of financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2020. He will continue as a member of the Executive.

Ray has made an outstanding contribution to both bodies. He is to be applauded for all he has done in “keeping the blokes together”.

As a consequence we advise with pleasure that Harry Moyle (4/67) has agreed to take on the Treasurer’s role as from 1st July. He will be joining the Association Executive at the next (February) meeting.

Harry served in Vietnam with 5 RAR. He is a retired Public Accountant and Financial Planner who operated his own suburban practice for over twenty years. We welcome him to the Executive.

Bernie Gleeson
Secretary, OTU Association.
