All,

A joint DRC/Kingswood com.meeting was held on the 14th.It was agreed to hold annual 'bigmatch'on the 5th April (Sunday). Venue to be confirmed. Bigmatch plus BBQ.Papara band and a family occasion, all are welcome with the families.

Joint Family Get Together.-prov. fixed 17th Oct.Sat.-Venue to be confirmed, anyone who knows a good venue please advice the Sec.(9580 3169).

As agreed(by the DRC OBU COM) we are holding a Appa Night in aid of the Dharmaraja VIRU SARANA project , under the ongoing Suwa sewa project.
Here are some details.
Date 30th May 2009, (Saturday)-Venue -Noble Park Community Centre,Ross Reserve,Memorial Drive,Noble Park 3174.
Cost:$20.00 adults,

Viru Saranna Project:
As requested we we rushed the anti fungal medicines to Sri Lankan armed forces. From the fund collected we have a balance of $292.25. The Committee decided to utilize this money plus more to assist to the Brave Soldiers who are fighting the Terrorists.

We have been in direct contact with the Director of the Sri Lankan Army Rehabilation Unit at Ragama, Brigadier Dr.(Mrs.) Sriyani Warusawitharana to identify necessary requirements for disabled soldiers. The Director requested a quantity of specially made Socket Gel Liners for the use of amputees. Ther are about 3000 Armed forces amputees now.

Socket Gel Liners (Gel socks)- This is a specialy made Sock with Mineral Gel liner layered throughout and sandwiched with two especial fabric layers. Gel Socks help to reduce the pressure and the pain on the stump when wearing a prosthetic (artificial) limb.

These socks are not available in Sri lanka. Soldiers use 5 or 6 cotton socks to minimise the pain but the skin gets damaged and the pain is immense.We are advised by the Rehab. Unit that they use GEl Sock made in UK.( brand name Silipos)The cost of one sock is $65.00. Our target is to provide 40 socks. That is about $2600 plus freight.

So we need help of every one to raise this amout from the Community in Melbourne. We have to tap the general community for fund raising.
Your help is needed for the soldiers who sacrifced their limbs so that we can live in our Mother country with out fear and with our heads held high.

We hope to hold a Ranaviru Adhistana Pooja(war hero Memorial Ceremony) in a temple during our fund raising period.

Tiak Joint Sec.
PS Your ideas welcome.

Dear all,
16 members attended the meeting held at Rohitha Dissanayakes house, chaired by Chandana Ekanayake, the folowing items of the agenda were discussed:

1. Kingswood/Dharmaraja Joint Dinner Dance.-some members expressed the view that 'dinner dance' is not the approprate term for the event, it was suggested the term 'Joint get together'-Suhada Hamauwa is better, because some members are comfortable with it. Mention Dinner Dance they might not come.But the Maroons band is available and no objections for people dancing.This event to be held towards the end of the year.-Coordinator- Chandana,Aruna.

2. Founders Day- 27th June-Saturday-Bana at Berwick Temple- Cordinator-Susantha.

3. Chandana attended the Clean Up Australia event organized by the Ananda Colege OBU. Due to a short notice we could not attend 'enmasse' but next year we might. Aruna suggested that next year we might do it alone. Secretary to contact Clean Up Australia.

3. Suwasetha Project- The Armed Forces are very pleased with our effort of providing a medicine for the solders. From the funds collected a sum of $292.25 is remaining. On inquiry the Rehab. Unit of the Army needs 'Gel Socks' for the amputees-these are worn by the amputees between the body stump and the artificial leg or the arm( prosthesis).This avoids the pain and the shock. Each sock costs about $us65.00.
Susantha suggested that we should hold a Appa and Koththu evening, open to gen.pubic to colect more funds. Agreed by the com. Event to be held on the 30th May, subjected to availability of a suitable premises.-Action by Susantha, Tiak and Aruna.
