Harvey - President Bill Russell

Harvey has has its ups and downs, literally with club numbers. From 35 and currently at 12, Harvey maintains a good presence in Harvey. The main employers are Harvey Beef and Harvey Fresh Dairy. This means there is partly a seasonal and itinerant workforce in Harvey.

One of it main achievements was initiating a Probus Club in Harvey. We are also involved in overseas projects such as furniture for the Phillapines, wheelchairs and water projects also in the Philippines due in part to some residents in Harvey being from the Philippines. We also funded a funeral for a young Philippino.

 

Fundraising is our community calendar that has many challenges as it covers a wide aerea such as Binninup, Kokernup, Wokalup. We have assisted with the Yarloop fire appeal and made our premises available for storage. We have managed to keep our costs down by sourcing cheap meals and keeping our attendance to meetings at around 90%.

 

This year marks our 60th anniversary this coming December.
