It doesn’t
seem like the year is half over but
it is. Since our last newsletter we
have had two roster person’s
information sessions. Many changes
have been made and everyone who
attended found these sessions very
informative.
Kay and I
attended the RAHS Conference in
Lismore where we met the new CEO of
RAHS.
Elders Rural
Bank Casino has kindly allowed us to
put a display in their shop front
window for Anzac Day.
A display of
ancestors who served in WW1 was put
together by members and placed in
the window. This was replaced by a
Beef Week Display.
We had 39 past
and present members attended a
luncheon at the Anglican Hall Casino
to celebrate our 25
Birthday. We
all had a great day catching up with
members we hadn’t seen for a long
time. Genie Awards were
given out as
well as special awards to the
members who joined in 1987 as part
of our celebration. Shirley Shultz
and Joan Newman cut a cake made and
decorated by Lisa Caban. Thank you
Lisa. A pictorial of the event is
included in this newsletter.
Several of our
members attended a Big Morning Tea
at Clovass where we were asked to
speak on our Group and the resources
we hold and tell some stories of our
families.
Thank you to
all those who helped with the stall
at the RV Village Market Day on Beef
Week Sunday either by providing
items to sell or manning the stall
on the day.
Your committee
has been working on making it easier
to find books in our Library by
re-categorising them.
For example if
you are looking for books on either
WW1 or WW2 you now can go the
section called ‘Armed Forces’ and
you will find all the books we have
on the Armed Forces. We hope this
will help everyone to locate
information
more easily.
We are
investigating the possibility of
interviewing residents of the aged
homes in Casino. If anyone is
interested in being part of this
please give me a ring or send an
email. At this stage it is only
under investigation but to make it
work we will need people prepared to
go to the Homes to do the
interviews.
Until next
time take care.
