Care packages for troops deployed overseas

ONCE again, St Marys RSL sub-Branch were able to supply an enthusiastic team of ‘packers’ to assist RSL Australia in putting together 400 packs of ‘goodies’ as an Easter/ANZAC gift for our overseas deployed ADF personnel.

“Thank you to 39 OSB at Randwick (the CO, RSM, Julee and Robo in particular) for hosting and to Ian Smith from RSL Australia for organising the packaging.

“We were looked after for transport by CDC Charter with a  very comfortable coach trip to and from Randwick (including the ‘compulsory’ stop at Daryl Lea on the return).  The coach was specially ‘wrapped’ by CDC for this ANZAC Period – as seen in the photos. 

“It was certainly an eye-catcher along the way and very well received by all at both ends of the trip. 

“Coach driver Roland, being ex-service himself, was fully employed in the packing and fitted in well with the ‘troops’.

“The packing was completed in record time and 39Bn put on the usual BBQ to beat all BBQ’s – thank you. The crew are already planning for the next packing day in September.”
