Sarah McPhee Appointed Functions Manager

January 27th, 2010

The EPSC Board is pleased to announce that Sarah McPhee has been appointed as our new Functions Manager. Sarah will look after functions, social bowls & sponsorship at the EPSC.

Sarah has been Treasurer of Riversdale Soccer Club in Camberwell for the past two years and worked in the canteen for over 10 years as her Dad is the President and her  extended family are heavily involved there. She resigned as Treasurer at the end of 2009 and decided to look for another club she could contribute to within the local community

Sarah came down to a Wednesday night social bowls around 3 weeks ago and asked the Club Chariman if there was any way she could help out the club in a voluntary role. She was told about the Hall Hire Position and thought it sounded right up her alley!

The only thing she claims to need to learn is how to bowl better!

For all functions, social bowling or sponsorship inquiries, please contact Sarah directly on 0417 106 310.
