Headquarters Command in this first quarter of 2016 has once again directed it's time to promoting the RHRL seeking out suitable items for donation to those in need. Items including good quality used clothing and toys have continued to be amongst the main items collected though HQ and now additional energies are being directed towards the areas of information technology where we may be able to offer support to children in need of equipment to help in their education. Items such as s/h computers and peripheral equipment are in demand from families who cannot afford such items and some systems have already been provided to that end. Some of the actions carried out this quarter have been.
In
HRH Service,
1st Barton Platoon Personnel Lt. Amanda Casselton Lt Casselton, who is
now studying full time, was awarded the rank of Officer in the Illustrious
Order of Merit in the 2016 New Year’s Honours List, a richly deserved
recognition of her role in the legion. During the last three months she has
provided copies of The Monthly to the Shire of Manjimup Public
Library and collected gifts for socially isolated seniors. Sgt. Lisa “Aliyah” Oliver Sgt Oliver’s contribution to RHRL was recognized when she was presented with the rank of Companion in the Illustrious Order of Merit as part of the PHR 2016 New Year’s Honours List, a fitting recognition of her work for RHRL. Since the beginning of the year Sgt. Oliver has helped provide English language books to Arabic speakers learning English and prepare gifts for socially isolated seniors.
Ms. Jenkins, a longtime supporter, continued to contribute to our activities. She donated Easter eggs for people staying in Starick Services and Mary Smith woman’s refuges, as well as books which were donated to the Australian Arab Association.
We would like to acknowledge the support of Royal Hutt River Legion Command HQ, Mr. Mark Chowan and Ms. Roz Italiano.
