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
Date & Time : Immediately after the Sunday Lunch on

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.
