Aussie Recovery Unltd.

The seed was planted years ago
In the fertile mind of Jill.
She nurtured it and helped it grow,
The concept to fulfill.

She got it from her American mates
And planted it in Aussie soil.
Now she's opened up the gates 
With her brains and muscles and toil.

She put the recovery tools in place.
What a heart!  Yes, what a wonder!
She started meetings face to face 
And incorporated LifeRing down under.

She's done it all for you and me,
We owe her our kudos and thanks.
Let it be known from New York to Sydney 
She's taken her place in our founder's ranks


Our hats off to Jill.
