Happy New Year!
From the President:
Membership subscriptions are a cornerstone of the annual funding for our RSA and I seek
your support for early payment.
The cost works out at just over $1-a-week for the range of services we offer.
To make early payment a bit more attractive – and add a bit of fun - we are
offering three sets of two free meals plus a small carafe of wine for
payments made by Friday 20th February 2015.
The three winners will be selected in an electronic draw from 2015 subs
payments made by the above date, on the first Wednesday evening
following = Wed 25th Feb.
Your support for your RSA is valued.

President’s Report
Welcome to 2015….. and hopefully a New Year resolution by all our members to help your
Executive and staff to strengthen and grow our RSA.
It’s the start of a year that will see Paraparaumu RSA live up to its purpose more than ever
before as we head into the World War One commemorative programme with the re-dedication of
the Memorial Arch on 14 February, the centenary of the Gallipoli landings on ANZAC Day, and
our RSA ANZAC Day Show.
2015 will also bring its usual share of challenges and opportunities for our RSA – the greatest of
which from my perspective are making sure we can survive in a constantly changing world and
safeguarding the values our organisation stands for.
It’s those values, and our behind-the-scenes support work for our members, that give RSAs a
human face and make us unique in a highly-competitive club environment.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes for 2015.
Chris Turver

Welfare Report
Happy New Year to all,
Hope every one had a good New Year—to those who lost someone
our deepest sympathy and hope this year is better for you. The
Welfare Section had a busy month of December; this included
funerals. Also we had our Widows and Widowers Christmas Party
which went down well. I thank you {my welfare people} also to
our staff for great work that you did.
Now ,I have to say this to you all; being Welfare Officer is not an
easy job. You do a lot of work behind the scenes that people do not see .
There are some people that seem to think that you can be in any one place on immediate
demand. You have to remember there is only one of me and only a very small team of
helpers. We try our best to get around to all people we possibly can, as fast as possible but
sometimes too many events occur at once and delays will inevitably occur.
So please spare a thought for the Welfare team as we carry out our work.
Thank you,
Gary Moore - Support Advisor
