Greetings once again, This Edition contains a Membership Form for you to come on board and join our new Association - Vietnam Vets helping one another. We also have a bank account for you to deposit your membership fees into. We will issue a Membership Card in due course.
It also includes a letter from our President Bruce Manning and a copy of Paludrine 1. This is a single page newssheet with details of what has been happening on our patch.
Roll Call - one of the things we noticed in preparing for our recent reunion was that all sorts of blokes wanted to be part of this initiative. If you combined all the members of the six units above there would be some 500 members. To date we have found around 50 with email, and another roughly 50 without an identified email address (our preferred method of cmmunication). That leaves 400 more members to track down.
We now have our own Home Page - see www.raasc-vspa.awarespace.com .
It is under construction and will have more details on it as we manage to get to it – so please be patient we’re not as fast as we used to be!
In addition to our Internet site home page, we also have our own group site where we can send and exchange emails. The site resides in Yahoo and can be accessed as follows:
Go to www.yahoo.com.au At “Check your mail status: Sign in”,
type sec_vspa and enter the password “launceston”
then press enter
Yahoo should then acknowledge sec_vspa as the user id,
then, click the MAIL tab and voila, there you are with emails waiting for you to read and send.
Send emails to this address from your email account use
Yahoo mail address: sec_VSPA@yahoo.com.au
All the best.

Dear Member
Welcome to the newly formed RAASC Supply Platoons Association which was established during the recent Long Tan –Vietnam Veterans celebrations.
Our aim is to find old mates from that era, to facilitate Reunion planning, networking, and welfare-related activities for the benefit of all members. It is open to anyone from that era, including all “supply platoon” types including Supply, HQ, Petroleum, Ammo Tech, ASCO, Postal.
We publicly acknowledge the hard work of previous reunion planners and will build on those efforts to strengthen the Association. We now have a Secretariat in Canberra but rely on key representatives across Australia to act as a point of contact for the Association. They are as follows:

Warm Regards,
