RSL backs Vietnam museum
LEONGATHA RSL president Peter Carruthers coincidently visited the National Vietnam Veterans Museum on Phillip Island when 28 new chairs were delivered recently.
The smart black wicker and silver chairs will be used in the Nui Dat Cafe, replacing outdated chairs.
The purchase of these chairs was possible with the generous donation of $2000 from the Leongatha RSL, made specifically for the purchase.
Museum staff thanked the Leongatha RSL for the kind contribution. Peter and his wife Carol helped unpack the first chair and attested to the smart look and comfort of the chairs, which patrons of the Nui Dat Cafe will have the benefit of experiencing.
The National Vietnam Veterans Museum is a unique museum that seeks to remember, interpret and understand the experience of the veterans of the Vietnam War, and the enduring impact of the war on society.
The museum is the result of much effort by veterans themselves, relying almost wholly on volunteer labour for the construction, fitting and dressing of the building.
Staff consists of volunteers who are themselves veterans or people connected in some way to the veteran community. Donations are much appreciated.
