I am pleased to advise that the Port Elliot Sub-branch of the Returned & Services League of Australia and the Parndana Campus of Kangaroo Island Community Education have been granted funding under the Saluting Their Service program.
An initiative of the Australian Government, Saluting Their Service honours Australia’s Servicemen and women and aims to promote appreciation of their role in shaping our great nation.
The Port Elliot Returned and Services League has received $3000 to upgrade the Port Elliot World War I and II War Memorial and the Parndana Campus will use the grant to help students interview soldier settlers from Kangaroo Island and to learn about their experiences.
I congratulate both of these organisations on their successful applications.
To find out more about this program and the application process, please visit www.dva.gov.au/commemorations/activities or call my office on 08 8398 5566.
