30th Anniversary Celebration

Date:  Sunday 09 March, 2014

LMCC’s 30th Anniversary celebrations on 9th March recapped 30 years of service in the community with photographic and multimedia display; Performances from our current participants and groups; and speeches from our current and past volunteers.

Our 30th Anniversary Project “Learning Together 30 Years” was funded by the Australian Government through the Diversity and Social Cohesion Programme.

30 Years! A remarkable accomplishment for a centre amid location changes, government changes local, state and federal and policy changes that started out as a small operation with volunteers giving tirelessly of themselves to the people they provided services to.

At the core of  LMCC  are the people and the friendly, non-threatening and welcoming community. LMCC’s mission of “Helping migrants and  refugees living in Australia” has not wavered in 30 years. The “Dream” as our founder Sister Miriam Boland has termed LMCC, continues to evolve adapting to  policy changes and the environment it finds itself in. Volunteers continue to remain an integral part of the centre - the COM providing strategic vision; tutors and office volunteers assisting with delivering programs.
