$1,500 Donated to Gympie Military Museum’s Recovery
Gympie RSL proudly announces its donation of $1,500 to assist the Gympie Military Museum in recovering from the 2022 flood. These funds will be allocated towards acquiring new display cabinets, which will enhance the museum’s ability to showcase historical artifacts and educate visitors.
The donation, raised through Gympie RSL’s weekly Community Raffles, underscores the club’s commitment to preserving Australia’s military history and its strong ties to the Gympie community.
“We are thrilled to support the Gympie Military Museum in its recovery efforts,” said Martin Muller, Group Manager of Gympie RSL. “This donation is a testament to our community’s spirit and the importance we place on preserving our military heritage.”
The Gympie Military Museum, an integral part of the community, suffered significant damage during the flood. Gympie RSL’s donation will aid in restoring the museum’s facilities and ensuring it continues to serve as an educational resource for future generations.

Donation to Gympie Regional Homelessness Assistance Association
Gympie RSL is delighted to share that over the past two months, it has raised $8,500 in support of the Gympie Regional Homelessness Assistance Association. This significant achievement was made possible through the club’s ongoing raffle initiatives, with 100% of the proceeds from every Friday and Saturday night raffle, as well as special raffles like Australia Day and Valentine’s Day, dedicated to the cause.
Marlene Owen, a key figure within the association, has been actively involved in addressing homelessness in the Gympie region. She was recently pictured alongside some of Gympie RSL’s team members.
The funds raised will go a long way in assisting the association’s efforts to provide support and resources to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in the Gympie region.
