We started off Term 2 with the arrival of the New Zealand Reciprocal Tour on Saturday 17th April. We shared the billeting duties with Kogarah RSL Youth Club. The New Zealand members attended our Commemoration Sunday March and Service on Sunday 18th. On Monday 19th they went out to Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway at Homebush where they were met by our Sub Branch President Mr Lloyd Birdsall who was able to share his memories and provided an insight into our Australian heritage.
Special thanks to the Cheung, Eade, Foley, Guy, Power and Sisak Families who opened their hearts and homes and made the New Zealand visitors feel very welcome. Without their support our Youth Club would not have been able to co-host these members and we would have missed out on meeting the most wonderful group of young people. (Special Tour newsletter to follow)
Reciprocal Tour to New Zealand 2011 The Reciprocal Tour is an exchange programme between the NSW RSL Youth Club Members and Members of RSA of New Zealand every second year. The two countries are linked by a common heritage in ANZAC Day.
The Tour Party consists of 30 Youth Club members and 3 Officials, Tour Manager, Assistant Manager and Chaperone. The Tour lasts approximately 14 days and is organised by the Reciprocal Tour Committee of Youth Council. Selection of ambassadors is very strict and deep consideration is given to the choice of Youth Club members, who are chosen for the tour.
It is the aim of the Tour programme to forge a common bond of heritage, share ideas and to build new and everlasting friendships. It broadens their outlook and strengthens youth and Youth Clubs in each country.
We have a total of 24 nominations for the tour to New Zealand next year. A reminder to these members that completed forms and resume must be returned by Saturday 8th May.
Exodus Gold Coin DonationIt was a very disappointing collection this year with only $87 collected across the whole Youth Club which has more than 200 members. We will hold onto this money and deliver the cheque with the items from the Canned Food Drive in June (12th-27th). |
