From the President: September 2022

Welcome to the September edition of the OGA newsletter.
I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our wonderful members who have been so generous with their time over the past month. I know quite a few of you have returned to the College as guest speakers, something the current students always love. It is so appreciated.
We are also edging closer to Mercy Day, which is where we will announce the winner of this year’s Project of Mercy Grant. We were blown away with the calibre of the applications we received, which is a testament to the contributions that so many of you make to the wider community. It really makes me proud to be part of this community, and I look forward to sharing the winner’s story with you all very soon.Â
Until next time.
