Computer grant for RSL

 

Member for Robertson Mr Jim Lloyd has announced that a local RSL branch will receive a $1376 Federal Government grant to help veterans and war widow organisations on the Peninsula.

The grant is part of the Building Excellence in Support and Training (BEST) program funding to be allocated during 2002-2003, to support ex-service organisations through improved resources and training programs.

The Woy Woy Ettalong Hardy's Bay RSL Sub-branch will receive $1376 for internet costs, the lease of a desktop computer, a multi-purpose laser printer and a computer helpdesk service.

"Ex-service organisations play a vital role in supporting veterans, war widows and widowers through the claims application and appeals process," Mr Lloyd said.

"The BEST program offers funds to ensure these organisations have the resources to provide and maintain quality services to their members."
