2024 RSL ACTIVE EVENTS

RSL ACTIVE AND MILDURA RSL

After having benefited many local veterans for the past two years, 2024 saw more events hosted by the Mildura RSL and RSL Active we the aim of hosting one every month excluding December and January. RSL Active is a social, emotional, wellbeing project offering veterans and their families programs and activities to improve physical and mental health, while helping build relationships.

 

  • Ten Pin Bowling hosted the first RSL Active event for the year, which had Veterans and their families being invited back for another family fun day, filled with friendly competition, laughs and good old catching up. It was a great event to kick the year off.

 

  • Tranquil Waters Caravan Park host the event for the month of March. Which had Veterans and their families invited out to Lake Cullulleraine for a Easter Egg Hunt. The Easter Bunny even made a surprise visit which all children LOVED. There is always such great feedback after these types of events from both adults and children that it was decided that the visits out to the Lake for Easter and Christmas celebrations would become an annual event.

 

  • Sunraysia Field and Game hosted the next event, with their volunteers providing us with a yummy lunch. Due to the age limits, only teenagers and adults were invited to come and participate, which didn’t effect the number of Veterans and their families that came together for some friendly competition a round on the field and game course.

 

  • May saw Arnnies Laser Force host RSL Active again, as the previous two activities were limited for those 13 years and older, this months event had all ages participating again.
