It is with great pleasure that I announce that Cueloopz has been awarded the Legion Trooper of the Month award for May 2017.

Spearheading the GECB committee and being the driving force behind getting this great event up and running for the Garrison, Matt was nominated by several troopers at once for Legion Trooper of the Month.  Running a large event is never an easy task and starting one from scratch is a crazy and stressful job all rolled into one.  Not for the faint hearted or clinically sane.  Matt and his team have set the benchmark for the Legion with this ball and opened the Legions eyes to the possibilities of raising money on a large scale with an event like this.  With almost $32,000 raised in a single night, it has set the bar very high for any other Garrisons thinking of taking this kind of event on.

Congrats Matt, you have done the Redbacks proud!!

Cheers

Quote:Matt has been at the helm of the biggest event in the Garrisons history. The Charity Ball held last weekend, was host to over 300 of the public, and raised $32,000 for ACT for kids. It was a huge undertaking, and the night was fantastic.

With the Knightfall Squad becoming a garrison last week and the Desert Scorpions in the voting process to become a Garrison this week, it is exciting times for Australia with unprecedented growth in our country.  With this the original TAG is now comprised of Tasmania (Thylacine and Copperhead squads) and the currently unoccupied Northern Territory.

With this growth and splitting up of TAG this has left the Redback Garrison now the largest Garrison in Australia!! Congratulations Redbacks!!  Keep up the great work and keep growing.
