25.01.2022 Celebrations abound for this lovely War Widow, Mrs. Hilda Fosdyke who will attain a huge milestone tomorrow 8th November 2020. Hilda will celebrate her 100th Birthday with her family.

25.01.2022 This week is Dementia awareness week. Please give a little extra time and care to those who suffer Dementia

23.01.2022 Little badge, huge impact on Australian society. This week is a week for us to show that we’re going to honour a commitment no matter the circumstances, no... matter the difficulties to say thank you to those who served, their families and to say thank you to those who look after them. The Governor-General has officially launched Legacy Week 2020. Legacy Week will look different this year because of COVID-19 you may not see people at the local shops collecting donations - but its purpose and importance is not diminished and community support is essential. Legacy supports Australian families suffering after the injury or death of a spouse or parent, during or after their service. They currently care for 52,000 people across Australia, including almost 2,000 children and disabled dependents. They help us all fulfil a commitment and pledge we make to those who serve our nation. Go to legacy.com.au to find out how you can support the families of veterans this week. Legacy Australia Australian War Memorial

02.01.2022 Due to the difficulties of COVID 19 Queanbeyan Legacy Widows have been isolating themselves and therefore a little lonely. At Legacy we have,of course, not been organising bus trips and luncheons so therefore decided to send flower arrangements to all of our Wards/Beneficiaries and these are photos of some of the recipients. Deliveries have been taking place over the past two weeks and should be completed by Friday this week. Our gratitude is extended to Rosemary Hague and staff at City Florist Queanbeyan for their very pleasant and efficient service. We have had numerous phone calls and messages from very surprised and happy ladies. A couple have sent the message that the flowers could not have come at a better time. We sincerely hope that the flowers have achieved what we had intended
