A Donation of Thanks for South West Rocks SLSC
In the face of tragedy, the local community of South West Rocks has demonstrated an outstanding gesture of gratitude by donating to South West Rocks Surf Life Saving Club for their tireless effort to find a missing local man who was swept off the rocks while spearfishing with his son.
Donors have acknowledged the club as diligent, but also considerate, compassionate, and caring. “We were so very impressed by what they undertook,” said one donor who was a close friend of the man. “Despite the result not being as we had all very much hoped, we still appreciate their efforts”.
Surf Life Saving NSW would like to commend all those involved for their dedication and efforts in this very tragic situation.
