Message from our President
From the Desk of President Margaret
Friday 11th November is Remembrance Day. It is a day set aside to remember the brave soldiers who died fighting for “King and Country” in the First World War; just as Anzac Day, on 25th April is set aside for the soldiers who fought in World War II.
I am confident that all of us will have relatives or friends or at the very least, know of someone who has relatives who served in those wars.
The have been many wars before and since the two world wars. Loss of lives and the hardship of those left behind can and have been devastating for many. The proceeds of the sale of “poppies” in various designs and prices as well as the sale of Anzac badges for Anzac Day go to organisations such as RSL and Legacy, who provide support in a variety of ways to the members of families left behind.
Let us remember them by buying and wearing a poppy and be thankful for our lives and what we enjoy.
Rotary’s motto, which is “Service Above Self” can definitely be applied to the soldiers who gave up their lives for their country.
Lest We Forget.
President Margaret Mason
