A beautiful Intergenerational Day at Vasey RSL Care Frankston South!

What a heart- warming day we had as the wonderful Students from Derinya Primary School Joined our residents for some very special activities.

The room was filled with excitement during a lively game of Bingo, with laughter and happy chatter shared across the generations. The children also created personalised cards for our residents-each one thoughtful, colourful and made with so much love and emotions.

It is truly beautiful to see the connections formed, the stories shared and the smiles that lit up the room. These integrational moments mean the world to our residents and create memories we all cherish.

A huge thank you to the amazing teachers and students for bringing such a joy to our community, we can't wait for the next visit.

Today, our CEO, Janna Voloshin, had the privilege of attending the VAJEX Remembrance Day Service.

Janna noted a particular highlight being a powerful and authentic speech delivered by Joshua Fink, a third-generation Jewish Australian who has served in our armed forces. His words were real, heartfelt and incredibly impactful - a reminder of the lived experience behind service, sacrifice and legacy.

Professor Jeffrey Rosenfeld also delivered strong and affirming reflections as he spoke about the importance of community pride and of remembering the remarkable contributions of Jewish Australians to the Australian Defence Force.

Tim Wilson MP (pictured with Janna) was also present to show his support for the VAJEX community on this important day.

Check out the editorial on the Tour de V Centre in the latest Last Post Magazine (page 68-69).

As we recently reflected on Remembrance Day, we were reminded of the great sacrifices service people have made – and continue to make – in the name of peace and freedom. In the veteran community, one message rings true: no one should be left behind.

That spirit drove the Tour de V Centre. 500 kilometres cycled. Hundreds of important conversations. Awareness raised across the state and the country. Politicians, community leaders and everyday Australians taking note.

Communities came together, stood up, and showed what can be achieved when we look out for one another.

To everyone involved, every rider, volunteer, supporter and sponsor – thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you, and your commitment is helping change lives.

In this amazing Remembrance Day Edition, we speak with and look at RSL SA/NT CEO Tara Belton, the 50th anniversary of iconic SAFC movie

Residents, veterans, war widows, friends, family, staff and volunteers at Vasey RSL Care Brighton East held a truly meaningful Remembrance Day service on Tuesday November 11th.

Dawn Argent, Ben Richardson, John Mitchell, Harold Ristrom, Marjorie Waring and Geoff Williams were joined by Rev Mike Phillips, and Garry Walker in a service where prayers were shared, stories were told and wreaths were laid, paying our deepest respect to honour and remember those who have fallen in service.

Recognising the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Harold also told us about the very important part played in WWII by the HMAS Sydney II, it's tragic loss and the meaning behind the monument "The Dome of Souls" in Geraldton, WA.

There was a lot of conversation, reminiscence, some media coverage and of course a decent cup of tea to wash down delicious biscuits and scones.

Lest we forget.
