I’m off to Legacy now

I’m off to Legacy now to help set up an Antiques and Militaria auction to raise funds for what I class as a uniquely Australian charity. Legacy exists to help the widows and orphans of veterans killed in wars and those who died afterwards as a result of their war service. The volunteer workforce primarily comprises former defence force personnel who have a strong commitment and interest in looking after the families of deceased comrades. Volunteer members were originally called Legatees because they accepted the “legacy of care” for their comrades’ families and this title has continued to the present day. Some 7500 Legatees assist more than 134,000 widows and 1900 children and disabled dependants Australia-wide. That’s right – 134,000 widows. The story behind the wars we fight. Some people just keep on giving and suffering. You might have not served but you can help Legacy help these widows and their kids. Think about it. You can view the Legacy website here Beside Legacy, this week I have the inaugural webmeet of Brisbane bloggers, organized by Andy Murphey from Mangled Thoughts, ably backed by Paul from Paul & Carls Daily Diatribe and Tod McKenzie from……..wait for it………Tod McKenzie. I look forward to meeting other people so if your in town get yourself to the Story Bridge Hotel after work on Wednesday. Blonde and large, you can’t miss me. Oh………Ok……….the blonde is really grey.
