I am pleased to supply the quarterly report for July - September 2013, from the Royal Hutt River Legion (RHRL) – 1st Barton Platoon.
In the April to June 2013 1st Barton Platoon Quarterly Report four priorities were established; Recruitment; providing food to homeless people; providing books and magazines to libraries and community organizations; tidying garden adjacent to Mental Health Outpatients Clinic at the Armadale Health Service; begin collecting toys to give to children staying at Starick Services women’s refuge over Christmas.
I am happy to report that all these priorities have either been fully implemented or substantial progress has been made toward them.
One of our supporters, Amanda Casselton, has joined RHRL, with the starting rank of sergeant. She was presented with her commission and rank insignia by HRH Prince Leonard of Hutt while visiting the Principality on Sunday 29th September 2013.
I am also happy to report that Legionnaire Oliver has been promoted to Corporal, a reflection of her commitment to the unit.
The platoon donated quality household goods to the RSPCA and Red Cross and quality clothing to the Jane McGrath Breast Cancer Foundation.
Household goods and clothing were donated by Pamela Searle.
Members and supporters have been collecting toys and children’s books to give to children staying at Starick Services over the Christmas season.
The platoon provided food to 17 homeless people in central Perth. Food provided by Capt. Barton and Pamela Searle.
'Eric the Mascot' was transported from the Multicultural Services Centre of WA to the Shire of Manjimup by Captain Barton, with assistance from Maureen Barton. Eric will be used to promote exercise and healthy diet in Manjimup.

Placed a person wishing to donate a bed and mattress to a refugee family in contact with Benevolent Hands and the Tribal Refugee Welfare of WA.
During July, August and September Legionnaire Oliver provided ongoing support for a mentally ill person who was sleeping in their car after being evicted from accommodation. This encompassed purchasing warm clothes, providing temporary accommodation in a spare room, providing food and advocating on that person's behalf with their employer and Centerlink.
