Nov 11, Remember this Sunday
It’s Remembrance Day in Australia, Canada, and United Kingdom, also known as Poppy Day in Malta and South Africa and Veterans Day in the United States. It is Armistice Day in France, New Zealand, and many other Commonwealth countries as that is the original name of the day internationally.
Whichever name, it is the day to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans and civilians in World War I, World War II, and other wars.
In 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After years of bitter war, an armistice was signed. The "war to end all wars" was over.
The observance is specifically dedicated to members of the armed forces who were killed during war,
King George V created it on 7 November 1919.
Remember with a prayer.
Cannonvale and Proserpine service at Cenotaph and then club.

Dec 1, Cyclones – not if, but when
It’s only a matter of time until Whitsunday experiences another cyclone, according to the
Whitsunday Disaster Management Group (WDMG), and the key for this coastal community is
to be prepared.
WDMG Chairman and Shire Mayor Mario Demartini said many people now living in Whitsunday may not have experienced the frightening event that is a cyclone, but he stated unequivocally “the Whitsundays is a cyclone zone”.
“Cyclone season officially begins on December 1,” he said.
Over the coming weeks the WDMG will release further information about preparing for
cyclones, and on December 1 will stage a cyclone information session at Centro Whitsunday
Shopping Centre. Further information - Whitsunday Shire Council --
