Katelyn has news :-)

Katelyn received a very exciting phone call last night. She has been accepted to represent Australia for the 2011 RSL Youth Club reciprocal tour to New Zealand.

Katelyn dances for the Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL Youth Club, it isn't just about dance she also participates in community activities. For example, door knocking for the Red Shield Appeal (Salvation Army), Red Cross calling and donates regularly to the Exodus foundation helping the the disadvantaged in the local area. Also shows her respect to the fallen and serving diggers by marching in the Commemoration Sunday March and the Sydney ANZAC Day march.

With all this and her dedication the Youth Club has allowed her to apply for this tour. She was knocked back at the first round of interviews but was highly liked by all she has accomplished in her time with the club. And lucky for her there was a place left for to attend the second round interviews On Sunday just past.

So last night we had a very happy girl after hanging up the phone. April next year will see her head over to New Zealand for 2 action packed weeks. The main highlight is marching in the Auckland ANZAC Day March. This will certainly be a trip of a life time.

Well that is our bit of good news following a very sad week with the sudden passing of Aunty Jan on the 1st August. Jan will be sadly missed by all her family and many many friends. R.I.P. <3

Ben is grea,t working 5 days a week at local chemist and loving putting his $$$ away. Oh he did ask his English teacher today "why do we bother learning poetry" he totally thinks it is a big waste of time.
