Location: Maroochydore RSL - 85 Memorial Avenue, Maroochydore QLD 4558, Australia
Date: 01.10.2022 12:30 - 01.10.2022 17:00

2022 is the Corps’ 80th Anniversary year and what better way to celebrate such an occasion than by attending this year’s RAEME Association – Queensland (RAQ), Sunshine Coast Chapter, Annual Luncheon. You, your partner and interested friends are invited to attend this year’s celebratory lunch, to be held once more at the Maroochy RSL, on Saturday 01 October 2022. The invitation is extended to all current and past members of RAEME, and friends of RAEME, who live on the Sunshine Coast/ Wide Bay area, or the surrounding region, including Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Visitors to the area at the time are also very welcome.

As you will be aware by now, the prime purpose of the gathering is to provide an opportunity for those of us who live in the wonderful Sunshine Coast region to renew old friendships and meet newly retired ‘Bluebells’ who may have moved to SE QLD. The good news is that this year we have no COVID restrictions in our venue of choice – the Maroochy RSL.

We are pleased to confirm that our guest speaker is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Canberra based Aspen Medical, retired RAEME Major Glenn Keys AO. Aspen Medical provides support across the full spectrum of healthcare in Australia and abroad and has had Government contracts not just in Australia, but in the UK, US, the Middle East and Africa. Glenn has a wealth of experiences to talk about but will concentrate on Aspen’s support to State and Federal Government responses to the COVID pandemic in Australia. Glenn’s presentation should be informative and contribute greatly to another entertaining afternoon.

The Colonel Commandant, Queensland, COL (Rtd) Steve Evans, will again host the lunch, and as has become the practice, BRIG (Rtd) Ross Grant AM will be our MC. We will again be ably supported by the Maroochy RSL catering and bar staff, who will look after our every need.
