ANZAC Day at the Magnetic Island RSL
|
Offering support for ex-service personnel and veterans of foreign wars; members and their families; and the community. Advising the government on defence and safety matters and informing our children of the sacrifices that other Australians have made for them. This is encapsulated in the commemoration of ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day each year.

When Hollywood gets to work making the next scary space monster movie chances are they will be drawing their inspiration from somewhere a lot closer to home. A kind of space few of us even think about, let alone know much about, and yet it is immensely vast, mysterious and totally absorbing - especially when you are introduced to it by a gifted communicator. It is life in the deep ocean and, next week, a man who is passionate about this world, with an immense knowledge of it, Dr Don Kinsey, will be holding a public talk at the Arcadia RSL, Monday, 10 July, 10:00 to 12:00 with a tea/coffee/chat break. This also will be the introduction to his recommenced U3A program (see under What's On).
