The turnout was impressive, with eighty eight citizens attending. The meeting agreed a center was urgently needed. The majority of welfare, church and government agencies in the area were represented at that meeting. Changing steering committees of eleven people set out to explore what was required, and establish a formal organization. The mission of the center at this time was to contribute to the relief of poverty, sickness and other misfortune, and to the promotion of the well being of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. The Management Committee employed its beginning social worker than Coordinator to establish the Information and Referral Service and to produce some limited counseling services. In 2003, the Committee decided to change the name of the Association to The Pine Rivers neighborhood Association, which reflected more accurately its vision and avoided the negative and outdated implications of the term welfare. The staff and volunteers remain to endeavor to look for ways to improve the service to the community, check whether community needs are matched by the services offered, and struggle with the ongoing challenges of obtaining enough funding, space and time to produce those services. The Shire of Pine Rivers can be justifiably proud of the history of the Pine Rivers neighborhood center, which will remain to strive to enrich the community in years to come.
