What a week we had celebrating the bike ride that didn’t happen - supporting the disadvantaged kids from The Smith Family didn’t need bikes!
Dr Lisa O'Brien presented the reality and the ongoing needs of The Smith Family as they continue to support our disadvantaged children. Lisa was thrilled with the results of the hard work by the ATB Team of Trevor Nink, Jim Orchard, Ari Talantis, Chris Wang, Reg Smith, Kevin Sheehan to find a way to provide the funds once more to the children.
Congratulations and our best wishes to Ian Ross who was the winner of The Smith Family Raffle. He was delighted as he has family members who will be rapt with a $2,000 bike voucher.
