A big thank you to the local community from Tura Beach to Eden for their generous support to Legacy.
All money raised goes to our beautiful war widows of which we have 45, a great number in their 90’s and one turning 104 this year.
We support them, financially with help with the winter electricity bills, the vital call alarm system and their lawnmowing and socially with lunches at the club.
Without the help from the community we could not do this so thank you. ❤️

This week is Legacy week. When you purchase a badge or other items, you will help Legacy carry out the promise to care for veterans families.
Legacy receives no government support and relies solely on our community to look after and assist financially and socially for our lovely widows.

You will find our sellers at these places so please pop by and if you are unable to purchase or donate, please say hello to the friendly Legatees.
And yes, we have ‘tap and go’.

Today I attended a lunch to say farewell and good bye to Marjorie Witherington,
92 years young and one of our gorgeous war widows. She said to me that she has finally decided that it is time to move closer to family in Wollongong.
I personally have known Marjorie for a number of years and she is such a delight, always smiling and happy.
She lost her house in the Eden bush fires and spent a number of weeks living in a garage before finally moving into her house that she had bought.

The 2 course lunch of $15 and w**e, which is held monthly and catered for by the Eden RSL Sub Branch was delicious and also had lucky prizes and a trivia quiz.
The Lunch at the Eden RSL Sub Branch is for veterans and their families. Eden has a number of veterans that have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and East Timor.
Far South Legacy wishes Marjorie a safe and happy move and we will miss her very much.

Christmas was celebrated early in Merimbula today when Far South Coast Legacy held their annual ‘Christmas in July’.

What a great turn out with 36 lovely war widows and their friends/family members or carers and Legatees and partners attending the sumptuous 2 course lunch.

Thank you to everyone, especially Merimbula RSL and their amazing staff,especially Johanna that helped out and made this outing happen and a wonderful day enjoyed by all.

We say good bye to an absolutely gorgeous Eden widow, Marjorie Witherington who is relocating in late August to Wollongong to be closer to family. We wish her well and safe travel.

Thank you also to my partner in crime Legatee Debbie Hall for helping organise today.

Now we all need ‘nanny naps’.

Tonight Legacy held their 3rd debutante ball for this year.
There were couples from Lumen Christi and Eden High and what a delightful group they were.

Our Guest of Honour was the beautiful Jess O’Donnell escorted by her husband Nathan.
What a wonderful and inspiring speech she gave to the debutantes.

Matron of Honour was Legacy War Widow Mrs Robyn Bedford.

Huge thank you to Sam and Raymond McGovern who make this night something spectacular by teaching the group their 3 dances.

Thank you to my partner in crime Legatee Debbie Hall assisting with the MC.
Enjoy the photos.
