A Big ThankYou ...
on the way to the shops a couple of days ago, my family were walking to Forest Lakes SC, on arrival at the shops, my daughter Yoorala relised that she had lost her purse, we retraced our steps but did not find a trace of the purse, my wife contacted the Shopping Centre Management Office, they were very helpful and she phoned our new Police Station they were very helpful too, seems they already have a lot of lost property, but unfortunately the purse was still missing, the purse contained a large amount of cash, my daughters Christmas present money from her family ... but the story ends well, yesterday we got a call from Forest Lakes Centre Management, someone had notified them of a found purse, my daughter quickly identified the purse and its contents, she has learnt a valuable lesson, and our faith in human nature has been restored ... THANK YOU

Funding boost for at home care services
as posted on TheWest
At home care services have received a $13 million funding boost from the State Government, bringing the amount spent to support elderly and disabled people in WA to $166 million.
Health Minister Jim McGinty said the nine per cent funding increase reflects the growing demand for Home and Community Care (HACC) programs in WA’s aging community.
Mr McGinty said HACC programs can mean the difference between elderly and disabled people living at home or in a residential care facility.
“It’s much better for the individual and the community as a whole if people can be supported to live in their own home for as long as possible,” Mr McGinty said.
HACC programs are jointly funded by the Commonwealth and the State, and its operations include personal and respite care, home support, meals on wheels, home maintenance and counselling and advocacy services.
Several metropolitan groups will receive additional funding.
Gosnells Community Support Services will receive an extra $200,633, including $154,286 to expand services of domestic assistance, client assessment and transport services and a one-off grant of $46,347 to buy a new bus. The extra money takes its annual funding to $1.3million.
Southern Districts Support Association are promised an additional $382,740 including $224,261 to expand services in centre-based day care, transport services, domestic assistance and social support and a one-off grant of $158,479 to buy two new buses. The extra cash takes its annual funding to $1.3million.
The Volunteer Task Force will receive an extra $1,127,893, including $1,081,676 to expand north metropolitan services in home maintenance, assessment and transport services and a one-off grant of $46,217 to buy a new van, trailer and gardening equipment. All up the task force will receive $2million.
Perth Home Care Services have been allocated an additional $184,461 to expand east metropolitan services in social support, domestic assistance, respite and personal care and client care co-ordination. Perth Home Care Services all up funding will now be $1.5million.
