Last week’s there was no maintenance, I was a guest speaker at the National RSL Congress in
Launceston, this was to highlight what we did for Veterans, this 2-day event is held every year, with three guest speakers, from the partner organisations with RSL Tasmania- this year it was Tasmanian Adventure Cruises, Veterans Men’s Shed and the Women’s Veteran group. I had some interesting conversations with Gov ministers and high-ranking military personnel as well as RSL Subbranch people, so fingers crossed
