Happy 60th Anniversary!
It gives me great pleasure that you are reading these very words. Over
the past 60 years, groups of dedicated members of the Slovenian
Association Melbourne have created an establishment that we can all
be incredibly proud of; united by a common yet powerful thread - our
Slovenian heritage.
As a second generation Australian-Slovenian, I was not even a wink in
my father’s (or mother’s) eye when the club was founded in 1954.
I often think about my parents and all the Slovenian immigrants who
worked so hard establishing new lives in Australia…and how their
determination, ingenuity and passion created and built a club that we
continue to enjoy today, allowing us to express and experience our
Slovenian heritage.
On behalf of the Committee, I give heartfelt thanks to everyone who
has selflessly contributed to the club over the past 60 years - your hard
work, determination and generosity will always be remembered; it is the
very fabric of our amazing history.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy the Diamond Jubilee celebration; may
your Slovenian spirit shine!
Julija Čampelj
President
