During the COVID-19 times, I am happy to say that the office girls and committee have still been working to keep us going. Colin Benporath and I have still been working with the Federation to keep fighting to keep the conditions we already have and trying to get others. Our Federal President is still working long hours and doing electronic meetings with Federal Politicians for us all. At this stage we will be opening the office on Monday 31st August 2020 at 0900hrs. We will still have the COVID-19 distancing rules in place and sanitising procedures to follow. Please be patient and respect everybody. TheAGM & General meeting will be held on Tuesday 10th November 2020 at the new RAAFAclub rooms across from our office. The committee has decided this year not to conduct the annual raffle. We will look at running the raffle again in the near future. For myself, I have had quite some number of health scares through this, but I am happy to say all is good and found only minor problems. During these tests and procedures, I have come across several dramas with DVA and what the Gold Card is giving. Saying this, I have sent DVA 3 different submissions in regards to what I feel is a diminishing of our health needs as TPI Veterans’. During the COVID-19 shutdown and its financial downturn both the Treasurer, Dennis Gilmore and our Accounts Manager, Chris Towie have been working extremely hard to reduce our financial losses with our investments. I am happy to say they have done an exceptional job, however the next 2 years are going to be very tight for what we can do and spend. Our Office Manager, Bernadette, has done a fantastic job with keeping the office running smoothly and doing the rosters for the committee members to attend the office so that we could keep communications open with you, the members.
