COMMANDERIES’ NEWS
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The South Australian Commandery has been busy with its charitable work. One of the organisations they support is Puddle Jumpers, a non-profit, non-government organisation committed to responding to the social development needs of society’s most vulnerable children and young people. They believe that all kids matter and deserve the right to engage in happy and fun experiences in their life. The South Australian Commandery again made a donation of $5,000 to Puddle Jumpers Inc assisting their work among the underprivileged and at-risk children. Many members contributed to a pre-Christmas working bee. Hospitaller Hon Trish White AM CLJ provides leadership in encouraging members to offer hands-on help in addition to the donation of funds. A donation was made to the Ukrainian community.
