We asked the organisation to identify a project we might be able to donate to. Thanks to a generous donation from one of our members we were able to increase this year's contribution to A$1500.
Ryder Cheshire advised that Klibur Domin, their humanitarian venture in Timor Leste, was in need of a new microscope for their TB lab, and A$1500 would meet that need.
As we write, that donation is being organised along with a A$500 donation to Legacy.

I helped look after Doug while he was residing at Lynden Aged Care, I always found Doug very good to sit n talk with, he was very knowledgeable n inspiring, Doug put with a lot n rarely complained, he was always a pleasure to be around,
I hope him n Mable are kicking back enjoying yourselves

Odd Bod Ron Fitch's book, "Recollections – A Lancaster Bomber Crew 55 Years On" caught the attention of a book collector in the UK. This collector had read about Ron's book in the bibliography of another book, but couldn't track down a copy. A friend wrote to us asking if we could help. We contacted Ron's wife, Lorna Fitch, who will be remembered by members as a regular attendee at Odd Bod functions, and custodian of our Birthday Card program for many years. Lorna was able to provide a copy of Ron's book which was successfully mailed to the UK, much to the delight of the recipient.
Greg & Sue Smith recently enjoyed a visit to Lorna Fitch to collect a copy of Ron Fitch's book.
