Two Pearl Beach Residents Receive Awards

It’s with great pleasure that the Pearl Beach Progress Association is able to share that Lynne Lillico & Beverley Lapacek have both been nominated for and awarded 2024 Gosford Community Champion Awards.

These awards go to Central Coast Community Champions, who go above and beyond to make a positive contribution to the Central Coast Community through their work, volunteering efforts and involvement in community activities. Lynne and Beverley have received these awards due to their dedication to the Pearl Beach community.

Lynne has received it for her continuing role within the Pearl Beach Progress Association as the Publicity Offer and past Events Coordinator, where she works tirelessly in her efforts to organise, promote and often host the many events that the Progress Association organise in Pearl Beach for the local community and beyond.

Beverley has received her award for all the work she has done and continues to do for the community by organising events and activities including Community Christmas Lunch, Christmas in July, Biggest Morning Tea in support of the Cancer Council, and the Pearl Beach Plodders group where she also organises a week away each year, just to name but a few.

There are very few events or activities at Pearl Beach that don’t involve Lynne or Beverley in one way or another and it’s a wonder they have time for anything else.

Lynne and Beverley with their Award Certificates

Congratulations to you both for all you do for the community here at Pearl Beach and the Central Coast as a whole.

Hall Floor Refurbishment

The hall floor will be refurbished starting 19 August.  It will not be able to be used until after 28 August and possibly 31 August.

The singers, cinema club, pickle ball and the book club will not be able to meet in the hall during this time.  Neither of course will our commercial hirers.  You can use the deck and kitchen and I will arrange for chairs and a couple of tables to be left out there.  I know this will not work for everyone but appreciate your cooperation and patience.

After the 31st August the hall will be available again but as the new floor finish will not be completely hardened for 6 weeks, we may need to restrict the hall usage until the 5th October to activities that will not damage our new floor. This includes the wearing of high heals, dragging of stacked chairs, and usage/movement of the piano or anything could damage the floor during this time.

Any questions or concerns please contact me or Gary Phillips (vp2@pearlbeachprogress.org.au) .
