About 50 people gathered on Saturday to celebrate the official opening of the $1.5 million Warrington Surf Lifesaving Club building. "Let it be a sheltering haven for everyone." Warrington Surf Lifesaving Club chairwoman Isabella Aldrich said being part of the group meant not only learning rescue skills, but also forming connections and relationships that often last a lifetime. She recognised the Moana Rua Ladies Surf Life Saving Club as the foundation of the current club. The new $1.5 million Warrington Surf Lifesaving Club building was made possible by a wide range of grants and donations.
