Letter from the Chaplain 30 Jan 2011
This letter really encouraged me, I have typed it out for easier reading. A handwritten letter is something special. This Letter belongs to YOU who have given freely, Thank You,
Amos

Wed 26 January 2011.
Dear Amos,
My dear Sir/friend /countryman,
I want to thank you for forwarding the magnificent
"Pens for the Troops" parcel which I received
and have enjoyed distributing over several Bases in my
travels. Many soldiers, both male & female, plus some RAAF and Navy who are here, have received these,
and have been delighted!! I need to prctise my handwriting skills myself!! as my writing is untidy,
but the Epistle is written on my my heart. Thanks to ALL your contributing Members,please.
God Bless you all,
Chaplain Steve Cloudsdale
There it is, my how uplifting, God Bless our Troops, AmosGood, better, best, never let it rest;

An addition
I wrote to Chaplain Steve Cloudsdale via email, here is a portion of his reply----
If it is convenient with you, I would be pleased to call into your Office and say G'day personally and pass on my personal thanks for your incredibly generous and thoughtful efforts "....for the Troops", that you may in turn pass this on to your Forum Members. (I am thinking of October; Do you meet up with others, or is it mainly on-line?)
Please pray for the protection of our Troops. Last week I had to take a Memorial Service and Ramp Ceremony for a young 22 YO whom we sent home to grieving loved ones/Family & Mates.
Best wishes to you and your Members.
Steve

Reply to Jim's request for appearance at Woodworking Show
Thank you Amos
I will do whatever it takes to be in Melb at that time.
I have commitments in NSW until late morning on the 21st Oct, but would then travel to Melb if my way is clear to do that.
I may be able to combine a trip to Melb with a work visit to some of our soldiers in Victoria.
Where is the event held?
Blessings
Steve
