The Grafton RSL Sub-Branch will celebrate its centenary on 7 July this year. The current executive Brian Bultitude OAM, Robert Gavin, Max Juett and Bob McFarlane, along with the countless committee members, do a fantastic job in the community. I thank them for their dedication to the RSL sub-branch. I'd also like to mention Vietnam veteran Denis Benfeild, who has been involved with it for two decades. I look forward to it, and happy birthday.
