A great day was had by all for this years AGM and Veterens Health Week and we thank everyone who joined us to make the day a success. A big thankyou to our guest presenters and visitors John Power (RSL), Shirley Mooney (SAS Association), Rebecca (VVCS) and Gabby Ryan (DVA) for joining us and sharing some great veterans health information. Thankyou also to Julia our association Welfare adviser for also bringing in some great veterans health information. It was fantastic to hear of the varous levels of support available to our RAEME family and comforting to know we have people that really do care and can help out.
As with all AGMs there is a change of guard. On behalf of our members we extend a big thankyou to our outgoing committee members Wes Lynch, Dan Byles and Gary 'Snow' Whykes. Our RAEME family is much stronger 
because of all of you and we look forward to seeing you as you share in our next chapter. Of note Snow was voted in as a life member at the AGM.
A very significant aspect of the AGM was a presentation by Phil Pitchers. Phil on behalf of the RAEME Veterans Association told everyone of there intent to fully amalgamate with the RAEME
Association and transition assets by the end of the year. It is fantastic that our RAEME family in WA are become closer together and that Phil will continue on as our committee Vietnam Veteran Social member.
In the coming weeks the new committee will get some more information out about our RAEME Birthday dinner on 28 November.
Save the date as this will be a great night and opportunity to see our mates before Christmas.
