	What’s happening in Croydon Park
	Beryl Novice A beloved pioneering member of the CPBC has passed away. In loving memory, may Beryl rest in peace. Anzac 2024 5.30am and it was quite balmy and not as cold as I thought. We tend to go early to experience the quietness and feel the spirit of the young fallen soldiers. But this morning the choir was already singing and their voices were splendid in the stillness of the early morning. It may seem the same every year when we go to Anzac but it definitely is not. Hearing the real stories of those who speak on the microphone will always cause tears and amazement to why war ever happened and still does. Being the 150 years for Burwood “1874-2024” it was a delight this year again to hear and see the Australian Defence Force plane Flyover! What an outstanding work of art the 960 handmade crosses correlating to the names on the Arch. They were constructed and painted individually by Scouts with support from their families and leaders; under the guidance of the CPBC, V. President Cheryl Borsak. District Commissioner, Canterbury Vale District Scouts. “ Lest we forget “ Toni Franzè CPBC President. #burwoodpark #clubburwoodgroup #croydonparkbusiness #anzacday2024 Pre-Budget Submission To The Commonwealth Government 2024-25 Business NSW Welcomes the opportunity to provide a Pre-Budget submission ahead of the 2024-25 Federal Budget.

You might know Boost Juice as it is today, with 680+ stores across 13 countries, but this didn’t happen overnight.

I’m ready to share my story, along with all of the lessons and secrets I collected along the way, with you at The Entrepreneurs’ Unconvention on Thursday 10 March 2022.
