L-R Deputy Chair Maree and Chair Karen May at Half Tide Dawn Service ANZAC Day 2025
Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank believes commemorating ANZAC Day is an important way we can come together as a community. It’s a time to pause, reflect and honour the bravery and sacrifice of our servicemen and women.
The Community Bank Sarina team and Board are deeply grateful to the many volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the ANZAC Day services across our region are delivered with dignity and respect. We commend all volunteers’ commitment to preserving tradition and ensuring that younger generations continue to understand the significance of ANZAC Day.
One of these volunteer groups that we are proud to support is the 131 Army Cadet Unit Sarina and local students – whose involvement supports bringing these commemorations to life. Recognising the role of commemorations in the community, Community Bank Sarina has continued to support the Cadet’s participation through our community grant program.
Community Bank Sarina has assisted the 131 Army Cadet Unit Sarina with training equipment, drones, cameras and accessories, alongside earlier contributions towards a training trailer and facilities used during field exercises.
We look forward to seeing the 131 Army Cadet Unit Sarina, along with others in the community, at one of the services in our region. From the early morning reflection of dawn parades to the heartfelt tributes at regional services, our community gathers to pay their respects. Whether you’re laying a wreath, standing in quiet reflection or simply showing up, your presence matters.
