AHLTA House opened in 2006, is a wonderful and enduring achievement which only happened because of the support from people like Anthony Jeffries, Sam Chisolm. Mark Brennan and the family of the late recipient “Dizie” Dianne Boom of Temora, who together made the major renovations possible and all the volunteers who gave up their Saturday mornings to get the work done.
