RSL Mackay Sub Branch held a welfare dinner last Wednesday, October 5 as part of Veterans’ Health Week.
“It was a great night,” said RSL Mackay Sub-Branch President Ken Higgins.
“Very informative but also a very happy gathering.”
Speeches were delivered by guest speakers including veteran and general practitioner Dr Kerry Summerscales, Exercise Physiologist Hayley Ferguson and Dietitian Haley Dore.
“We then spoke about healthy eating and exercise and the psychological effects of warfare,” said Mr Higgins.
Ms Ferguson also hosted a barefoot bowls afternoon last Friday, October 7 at Mackay City Bowls Club.
“That’s just a couple of hours of interaction with vets and their families and a bit of fun,” said Mr Higgins.
“It’s not just all about veterans, either.
“It’s about their families.
“Immediate and extended families are all part of the broader picture of what the RSL Mackay sub-branch is trying to do.
“We’ve got to create an environment where all veterans feel welcome and embraced by the goals we’re trying to achieve.
“The RSL continues to enjoy the camaraderie and interaction for social and health benefits.”
