PRESIDENTS REPORT - June 2009 The medical mission at Barangay Cutud was again a huge success with 608 children each being examined and assessed by Region 3 Police doctors and prescriptions filled by this Sub Branch. Really a great day and makes the fund raising ever so much more meaningful. Photos appear on the web page. The next mission is on Saturday June 20 at Abacan, Malabanias and a map of how to get there, and detail is also on the web page (also see map on page 16 of this newsletter). If you have time drop by and have a look and or lend a hand.; It would be remiss of me if I were not to mention publicly the tremendous amount of work that Dallas Drake our Secretary does for this Sub Branch. Just this last month, and through a network of contacts that Dallas has developed, we obtained a grant from Department of Veterans Affairs of a sum in excess of AUD$7,000 for an inscribed marble tablet of remembrance from this Sub Branch to be added to the Hellships Memorial at Subic. The date of dedication of this memorial is yet to be finalized and more information will appear through the Newsletter and web page. This recent grant of course follows on from the Best grant received last year for administration of the Sub Branch for computers, equipment etc etc., and Dallas has prepared and lodged yet another application for a grant for this year. We have TIP training for a few days prior to Vietnam
