Dear Members

November is Remembrance month and although our departed loved ones are thought about throughout the year, the month of November is specially dedicated to remembering all those who have had such a great impact in our lives. This is mainly a Christian tradition but nearly all cultures and religions place a great importance in remem-bering those that have gone before us.

At our November lunch on Sunday 14 November, we will be remember-ing in a very special way deceased members of the Association, their families and friends. We are celebrating this occasion in a slightly dif-ferent way this year so please check this newsletter for more details. I have had requests to feature more ‗heritage‘ dishes at our monthly lunches and at the November lunch we will be serving from my god-mother‘s kitchen a favourite Indian curry among Eurasians – ‗Pork Vin-daloo‘ . Served with basmati rice, Indian potato salad and pappadum, this heritage dish will be accompanied by the recipe that is simple enough for anyone to try at home. It will also be posted on the website which features other curries like Ambilla and Rendang. Pork has al-ways been a popular meat amongst Eurasians and pork lovers will be delighted with this curry . If you have a heritage dish you wish to share with us, please let us know and we could arrange for the recipes to be distributed and posted on our website. It‘s Senior‘s week commencing on the 31st of October and I would like to wish all our Senior Members a Happy Senior‘s Week. You are a val-ued and important part of the Association. Some of our senior mem-bers will be celebrating this week with a mystery tour and some are tak-ing advantage of their free travel passes to enjoy the sights and scenes of Kalbarri in early November. I hope you have a restful and enjoyable time. A big thank you to Brian and Thelma Green who so kindly offered their beautiful residence and surroundings for the family picnic on Saturday 23rd October. It sounds like it was a fun day with lots of games and en-tertainment. Unfortunately I missed out as I was locked up at the Monastery fulfilling my annual retreat on that weekend. There‘s always next year! Till the next newsletter, keep well and if you‘re a Melbourne Cup fan, good luck, all the best and hope you pick the winner. All the very best.

SENIORS EVENTS - MARK YOUR DIARY …

Not just for Seniors—but for All Members and Friends!

Hi all, By the time this Newsletter is released, three outings would have taken place. Family Fun Day on the 23rd Oct. 2010 was indeed a good social gathering with lots of singing, laughter, good food and drinks. The crowd was kept warm by a roaring camp fire. Mystery Tour which was sponsored by the Council of Ageing, to celebrate ―Bendigo Bank Seniors Week‖ was held on Sunday 31st Oct 2010.

Kalbarrie Trip. Date: Friday 5th. November to Tuesday 9th November 2010, 30 members will make the journey to Kalbarrie, enjoying each others company and having a relaxing time at the Kalbarri Edge Resort by the pool side, and excursions.

Mandurah Christmas Lights Cruise. Date: Friday 10th. December 2010 Cost: $59.00 per person with $5.00 rebate for finical members. It includes coach trip, fish and chips at Cicerellos and cruise through the canals . Seats are still available but are filling fast.

Those who have not registered for the cruise yet, please do so at the November Lunch. You have got to be in, to enjoy the many rebates offered by AEAWA. So get cracking! A big THANK YOU to all who donated cakes for the October lunch, and to our wonderful singers and entertainers, especially Jimmy and Horace Santa Maria.

God bless and take care. Seniors Coordinator Joan Reincastle 92769439/ 0419906719

Due to the increase in the price of food and utilities, it was agreed at the October Management Committee meeting that effective from November 2010, the price of the main meals will be in-creased to $6 instead of $5 and the cold drinks to $1.50 instead of $1.00.

Prices of side dishes, cakes, coffee and tea will remain the same. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all our cooks who generously volunteer so much time, effort and resources to ensure that our members are able to enjoy a variety of dishes at an affordable price. Thank you to Philip De Mello and his band of volunteers who without fail are there each month to ensure everyone is adequately refreshed with a variety of drinks.

And finally a big thank you to all the regular helpers in the kitchen. All your efforts are much appreciated.

A TIME TO HONOUR AND REMEMBER — A Mass for deceased

members of the Australian Eurasian Association of WA will be celebrated on Sunday 14th November at 8.00 am at the Notre Dame Catholic Church, Wright Street, Cloverdale. All members and friends are invited to attend.

The November lunch will commence as usual at 11.00 am. A Table of Remembrance will be set up at the hall and members, friends and guests will be invited to write names of their deceased loved ones which they can place in the remembrance box. After a minute‘s silence that will take place at 11.30 am, a ‗love‘ balloon will be released. This will take place at the oval. At the end of the lunch everyone will be invited to take away sprigs of rosemary in remembrance of departed loved ones.

Hope to see you all there at this special lunch. Genevieve De Souza ________________________________________________________________________

Normal lunch proceedings will continue with entertainment being provided by a group of very talented dancers. Thank you Alfonso Soliano for your help with the music and thank you Selina our ‗belly dancer‘ at the September Fathers Day lunch. A big thank you as well to Clifford Se-querah and Mel Nerva for their help with the music at the October Seniors lunch and to the wonderful quintet voices of ‗The Hope Street Harmony Singers‘. Thanks to all singers who came on stage as well! Great job!!!

Entertainment for the March 2010 lunch will be a ―Musical Soiree‖.

This means YOU…our own members will come up and perform! This is NOT a competition but a showcase of our own talents. We have a wonderful pool of talented singers and musicians…lets share our talents. I will be collecting performance details at the November lunch. You have 3 months to practise (Nov, Dec & Jan)!!!!

PICNIC AT THE GREENS‘ Well, well, well, a picnic in someone‘s ―Backyard‖, backyard? — more like a small country! Well, thanks to the ―GREENS‖ (Thelma & Brian) a GREAT time was had by one and all. Our Maestro, Chad and his ever faithful sidekick Alan produced an entertaining night of ―Karaoke‖, that‘s ‗Car-Row-Keh‘ not ‗kara-oak-key‘ (and that‘s straight from the horse‘s mouth – a Japanese one). Thanks to Phillip for that evil device called a ―Karaoke-machine‖ (you know how to pronounce the first word, the second word is ‗mar-sheen‘ not ―Mac-Hi-Knee‖. Also a big thanks to Dennis for the firewood, the Bonfire was magnificent – the warmth was fantastic, could have done without the SMOKE. It was a lovely picnic with plenty of food and drink, and thank you to everyone who sang. I think Phillip‘s machine needs a little ‗Tune-up‘ as the scores did not always portray the quality of the singing (or maybe I had too much ―Drinkie-poo‘s‖). To those who missed out, maybe next time. Thanks to all. Graeme...
