Bringing to an end nearly 70 years as a social hub for older members of the Castlemaine community. Members unanimously decided to donate the club’s remaining monies, more than $10,000, to Castlemaine Health’s new Maternity Service, a lasting legacy that will impact the community in a positive way. ... New Castlemaine Health CEO Sue Race says support for the maternity service has been overwhelming and Castlemaine Health is extremely grateful for this generous donation. The Castlemaine District Senior Citizen’s Centre Inc. has been very important to the people of Castlemaine and we are sorry to see it go, says Sue.
