Wagga RSL and Commercial Club is proud to support the community that supports us. Without the continued support of our valued members we would not be able to provide the support we do to many of our community partners. Your local clubs are working in conjunction with ClubsNSW and Wagga City Council to provide the best facilities, services and environments for members and their guests. Over the last year, our club alone supported 138 community groups, gave 636 free room hires and donated more than $480,000. Some of the most recent recipients have included The Forrest Centre, Kurrajong Waratah, Cancer Council, Willans Hill and Riverina Bluebell. The Forrest Centre's 'Together We Care' campaign aims to raise a total of $5 million to build a 10-bed Palliative Care Hospice including single room accommodation spaces for families to gather and consulting rooms for visiting doctors and other health professionals. The centre will be part of the 'Palliative Care Alliance' which includes Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network. Wagga RSL Club has committed to donating $120,000 over the next three years to assist the redevelopment of the centre, providing respite and long-term end of life care to all residents within the region. These and many more organisations play a great role in our community and we are proud to be able to assist them in their endeavours. It was great to be part of the ClubGrants presentation held at the Rules Club on the 31st of August. The RSL, Commercial Club and Rules Club presented more than $144,000 in funding to 19 community groups. This is only a small amount of the contribution to the community that our clubs make on an annual basis. The funding provided by the ClubGrants Scheme assists groups that may not have been able to secure financial assistance through other means thus enabling them to fulfil their projects to assist others, who are often in great need. It was pleasing to see so many of the recipients in attendance at the presentation and very moving to hear the real stories about what the funds will be spent on and the amazing impact this will have in our community. Your club continues to understand the importance of community support and we look forward to assisting many more worthy causes and community events in 2017 and beyond.

The product of a brief relationship between marriages with Hank and Nashville secretary Bobbie Webb Jett, Antha Belle Jett was born on January 6, 1953 five days after her father died. Jett s story has all the ingredients of a great country song but for her, it s real life. Williams, who is widely recognised as one of the most significant and influential American singer-songwriters of the 20th century, had a string of hits including Your Cheatin Heart, Kaw-Liga, Cold, Cold Heart and Take These Chains From My Heart. Ironically, among the tracks laid down at his final recording session in September 1952 was the prophetic I ll Never Get Out of This World Alive. All the while, Jett pursued her ambition of becoming a country singer like her dad, and has performed with his band members, the Drifting Cowboys, on a number of occasions singing his songs. This is Jett s first visit to Australia and she s keen to meet fans of her father s, and make some new friends herself in the land Down Under.
