DONATION TO HILLS DISTRICT
PCYC
Bob O'Neill, the President of the
FHPA, hands over a cheque for $2,500 to Sgt Lyndon Martinez of the Hills
District PCYC.
These funds were held by the FHPA
on behalf of the former Arana Hills District Progress Association, which
has wound up. The Trustees of the Arana Hills District Progress
Association indicated that they wished their funds to be disbursed to a number
of community organisations within the area, including the PCYC. The FHPA
has been managing that disbursement. For more information about the

The FHPA is a group of local citizens who volunteer their time and effort to
improve the area we live in. We are a non-profit, non-political
incorporated association.
The aims of the FHPA are:
