Normal proceedings will then resume. Please

make an effort to join us in this very poignant

event.

The final Community Services talk will be held

straight after lunch. Matters on Dementia will

be discussed and details can be found inside.

The Community Services team has done well

to plan these talks which hopefully have been

beneficial to our members. We hope to see

many of you attend this last session.

The Sports & Games team has organised a

Family picnic on the 25th of November at AP

Hinds Park Bayswater. There will be lots of

games for the kids and family. Please check the

details inside.

The Christmas Tea Dance on the 2nd December

will be a cosy change from all the hectic late

night Christmas parties that we usually attend.

Come, let us immerse ourselves in the

Christmas spirit! Please see inside for more

details.

The Christmas Sunday Lunch & Children’s

Christmas Party is on the 9th of December.

There will be carolling and yummy

traditional Eurasian food for the adults (main

hall) and games and presents for the kiddies

(the other room) and of course SANTA! This

year the whole family can be together for our

EA Christmas celebration. Please make sure

your kids forms are handed in by the Nov

lunch!!!

Speaking of forms….nomination forms for our

3 EA Awards are now open. Please get them in

early to avoid any disappointment. Details

inside or contact Kevin De Souza.

Take care and see you soon!

Hello my dear members! The

days are getting warmer and

the hint of Christmas is in the

air. The build up to the festive

season begins!

Our build up usually begins

with the always popular

October Senior’s Sunday lunch, which lived up

to expectation, once again, attended by almost

190 people. We were well entertained by

Bobby Beins Karaoke, fantastic yodelling from

Uncle Horace Sta Maria and Mel Nerva and

then the room turned amazingly silent as soon

as the Bingo commenced! A big thank you to

our very active Senior’s committee and our

many helpful volunteers, cooks, kitchen

helpers, servers, cleaners and everyone who

assisted us in making the lunch successful.

The weather held and the friendly soccer game

went ahead as planned. 10 children ran rings

around their slower opponents but the sleek

skills of the 7 dads’ came through in the end

for a sweet but painful victory! Thanks to all

who helped make it a fun day for the kids….

A superb TAFE dinner on the 18th of October

was organised by the Senior’s committee

where everyone left feeling very satisfied

indeed! The team has also got the Melbourne

Cup afternoon all sorted out for the 6th of

November so please look inside for details if

you don’t want to miss out!

The activities continue with the 11th of

November Remembrance Day lunch dedicated

to the memory of members who have passed

and our own family members and friends. The

solemn ritual begins with the Last Post and a

minute silence and culminates with the burning

of the memories of our loved ones and the

release of the ‘in memoriam’ balloon.

PRE-PAID LUNCH VOUCHERS

To serve the lunches faster, purchase a pre-

paid lunch voucher. This is how it works:

When you arrive you get a numbered

ticket as usual.

You then purchase a lunch voucher at

the entrance, currently $6 (half price for

over 80’s). You may also purchase a

side dish voucher.

When your number is called, present

your numbered ticket plus the voucher

at the kitchen and get your meal.

(N.B: One ticket = one main meal + side dish).

A gentle plea - please have the correct amount

handy to save us running out of change.

In the unfortunate event that we run out of all

meals, we will refund your money.

Hamper Draw 1st prize - Penny Fernandez

2nd prize - Sandra Vernie

HEY, WHAT DID YOU SAY? WHAT?

GETTING TO GRIPS WITH DEMENTIA

Come to the AEAWA Community Services Talk!!!

Speaker CAROLINE IANNELLO

from Alzheimer’s Australia WA

Sunday 11 Nov 2012 from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm

Place : Redcliffe Community Hall

Corner of Morgan Road & Field Avenue, Redcliffe.

There are 24,000 West Australians with dementia in 2011. Without a

medical breakthrough, this number is projected to increase rap-

idly and in less than 10 years, will reach 36,500 - a rise of almost

50%.

Dementia can happen to anybody, but the risk increases with age.

Come and learn more about dementia and how it may affect us

and our loved ones, the care involved and how to cope with it.

It is just an hour’s talk but a lifetime of knowledge.

Our Warmest Thoughts are

with . .

all of our members and their

families who are unwell or

grieving. If you know of some-

one who would like to share

their loss, or just need a prayer,

please feel free to contact the

committee or drop us a line.

A Note from the Editor .... Sharon

On behalf of my mum Helen, sister Jacque-

line, brother Trevor, in-laws & children, I

would like to express my heartfelt thanks

to the Management Committee & AEAWA

for their condolences on the death of my

father Felix “Mike” Beins on 4 October

2012.

Your kind words & support have been

overwhelming. We can only say “Thank

You” for helping us through this very diffi-

cult & painful moment in our lives.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the

guns below.

We are the dead. Short

days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw

sunset glow,

Loved, and were loved,

and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with

the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
