New life members in 2012

Margaret MacDonald OAM

The ANGAIR Committee of Management is delighted to  announce  the election of Margaret MacDonald OAM, to  Honorary Life Member of ANGAIR.

The citation reads: ‘In recognition of her outstanding contribution to ANGAIR, for her inspiring leadership and tireless work over many years, and for sharing her knowledge and her love of the flora and fauna of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet district.”

How fortunate we are that Margaret decided to live in the unique natural environment of Anglesea and Aireys Inlet. Her love for the area began as small child, when, for a few years, her family spent two weeks of the summer holidays, staying at Filkins’ guest house in Anglesea. This interest was reawakened and extended later, when she led Girl Guide camps at Tallawalla Moggs Creek, and, of course, came into its own when she chose Moggs Creek as the place to spend her retirement.
