Alan Boniface invested as an Officer of the Order

Alan Boniface, of Snells Beach, was rewarded for decades of service to The Order of St John in a ceremony at St Patrick’s Cathedral on June 16. Alan, 81, was invested as an Officer of the Order by Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy. Alan has been the chair of the Warkworth Area Committee of St John for more than 22 years. His citation noted that in this time he has lifted the profile of St John through the many service organisations he belongs to. Alan was responsible for launching a fundraising appeal, which raised about $400,000 for the rebuild of the Warkworth ambulance station, which opened in 2005.
