Reverend Jim Pilmer retired from Victoria Police today after 12 years service to police, the wider police family and the community of Victoria. Last night, Jim was farewelled at a formal function attended by 140 guests. Family, friends and work colleagues including the Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon, Assistant Secretary of the Police Association Bruce McKenzie and CEO of the Blue Ribbon Foundation Neil Soullier paid tribute to the man and his career. Victoria Police Legacy was represented by Board member Sergeant Martin Park and CEO Laurie Snowball together with legatees Edith Jenkins and Lucy McKenzie, President and Secretary of the Police Widows Association.

The Wodonga Police Sports Club recently held their Police/Citizens golf day, raising $1,200 for Police Legacy. We are very grateful for the hard work by Murray Sleep and the organising committee and for the generosity of the participants. The money raised will assist with the delivery of our 2008 program which includes a special resort holiday for legatee children and their parents in July at Club Med Hayman Island.

To thank the club, Police Legacy invited Senior Sergeant George Bedson to our legatee lunch at Wangaratta and presented him with a special plaque for the station.
