Lyn Guy, Director

Lyn Guy

Member of Dandenong Branch from 2003 to 2010. Member of Mildura Branch since 2011. First woman elected to Board of Directors in 2007.

I have enjoyed the camaraderie of Carry On (Victoria) and working with other Branch members to ensure that our tenants at Noble Park, Mildura and Red Cliffs have been looked after. I have also enjoyed being able to discuss issues and make decisions about the future of Carry On (Victoria) whilst a member of the Board.

The most satisfying thing that has occurred during my membership has been the modernisation of the organisation to ensure its continuation as a provider of meaningful assistance to members of the ex-service community.

How to stay connected

Numerous studies have shown that strong ties with family, friends and the community provide people with happiness, security, support and a sense of purpose. As humans we all crave social connection, it’s just the way we’re wired. It gives us even greater joy when we connect with like-minded individuals who share similar beliefs and values.
