Eddie Stark Life Membership
A special ceremony was held on Wednesday 11 December to confer life membership on Eddie Stark JP. He was unable to attend the AGM where his life membership status was confirmed, so he attended the last Council meeting of the year where he was presented with the citation, tie and life members badge by President, Sherryl Wilson.

Eddie was also a Marriage Celebrant for many years. He continues to serve his community as a Justice of the Peace.”
