FOR TRIGLAV is
DORA HRVATIN |
Dora Hrvatin ni znana in spoštovana samo v krogu triglavskih članov, temveč v celotni slovenski skupnosti , kot pridna in zanesljiva oseba, ki spoštuje delo v slovenski skupnosti in katerega z veseljem opravlja že vrsto let. Kot zvesta članica, prihaja v klub Triglav od dneva, ko se je na povabilo prijateljev prvič sestala z drugimi Slovenci na zemljišču, kjer se nahajamo danes.
Dora, after having spent a year waiting in a camp in Italy, arrived in Australia in 1957. Initially she worked as housekeeping help and later as a seamstress. In 1958 she married Emil and they made their home in Cabramatta.
In 1972 they joined a group of Slovenians, who met on a piece of former farm land at St Johns Park which they named Triglav. Since that first attendance, Dora’s family has actively participated within Triglav, attending functions and gatherings regularly.
Both Dora and Emil were regular workers at the club, including weekly duties in the kitchen, organising and helping with various occasions.
Dora was also responsible for the women’s section of the Triglav Bocce Team constantly till this day. She has always been trustworthy, reliable and loyal, and nothing has gotten in the way of her responsibilities. Nothing was ever too hard for her. With her positive attitude, Dora is always there, a pillar to be leaned upon. She has gained a reputation, enormous respect and popularity not only amongst the members of Triglav but also amongst competitors within the interclub competitions of Bocce NSW, where she has achieved many successes as a player.
Many thanks for all your hard work, Dora, especially from your friends at Triglav Panthers St Johns Park.
Dora Hrvatin in Andrew Gardner, General Manager of Triglav Panthers St Johns Park Club
