Pyrmont Action Inc, represented by Elizabeth Elenius, Convenor, participated in the Union Square
Anzac Day Service, conducted by the Rev Niall Reid of the Mustard Seed Church. Elizabeth laid a sheaf of native flowers on behalf of PA members, many of whom attended the service. The ceremony was also attended by the Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, and Alex Greenwich, representing NSW Parliament. The Mustard Seed Choir led the singing of Abide with Me, the Recessional and the National Anthem. As with previous years, the addresses focused on the message of peace and kindness. There was a record attendance at the service from babes in arms through to the elderly, and WW1 Pyrmont veteran families were well represented. The official ceremony was followed by a wonderful morning tea provided by Bartino’s restaurant, ably assisted by local volunteers – a great chance to catch up with our neighbours and friends.
