Footy boss eyes region

By Jim Mynard
HAWTHORN Football Club sales and marketing manager Jeremy Kaan foreshadowed a strong presence in the southeast for his club.
Mr Kaan, who was guest speaker at the Casey Business Development Group (CBDG) December breakfast meeting, said Hawthorn wanted ownership of football in the eastern corridor.
He said, however, the club would be asking the community what it wanted for football.
Mr Kaan said Hawthorn had established a new base at Waverley Park that was state of the art and was well placed to service football in the southeast.
The business group held a champagne and chicken breakfast at Olivers on Clyde, Berwick, to wind up a highly successful year.
A raffle for a stay at the Cumberland, Marysville, raised $280 for Windermere Child and Family Services.
President Michelle Hext said the CBDG would make the amount for Windermere up to $500.
Ms Hext said the group was extremely pleased with the success of its year and particularly with the energy shown at the final networking breakfast for the year.
