Christmas Party

Dear Members Janeiru, Fabreiru, Masu, Abril, Maiyu, Junyu, Julyu, Augustu – Oh how the months have flown. By the time you receive this newsletter August will nearly be over signifying the end of winter and September will bring spring and the promise of warmer weather. Hibernation is almost over and time to put those brain cells to work so I hope many of you will by now have bought your tickets to the Quiz night on Saturday 28 August. Then on Satur-

day 25 September, its workout time. Put on those dancing shoes and get into shape for summer. Adorn yourself with black and bling and dance the night away! Sorry to be sounding like those annoying ads on TV but these functions are a great opportunity for the Eurasian community to come together, catch up and enjoy each other‘s company.

Thank you to members who came to our Sunday lunch and sup-ported our youth and a big thank you to our youth who came to show us that our heritage and culture will live on for many gen-erations to come. Their enthusiasm and joy in upholding the tra-ditional Portuguese dances was evident on Sunday. We have amidst us ‗Elders‘ who can teach and pass on their knowledge and experience. Thelma Minjoot, Horace Santa Maria are some of them and to Chad and his wonderful theme, ‗Mutu Grandi Merseh‘ – Thank you very much.

‗Get to know Kristang‘ will be a regular feature in our monthly newsletters. The Heritage committee is keen to promote this interesting lan-guage of our fore fathers and endeavour to keep it alive and well. Most of the content is taken from the ‗Kristang Phrasebook‘ by Joan Margaret Marbeck. Many of our Senior members can still speak this language and I encourage them to do so at our func-tions. The sound of Kristang is like music to the ears!

Food is such an important part of our culture and I know there are some superb traditional cooks in our membership. Please share with us your expertise and participate in cooking for some of our Sunday lunches. Like Kristang, many of our traditional dishes may only be a memory in the not too distant future so we need to ensure that we share with the next generation this passion for our great cuisine. I often wonder what Jamie Oliver would think of some of our recipes. Imagine a book called –‗Jamie goes Kris-tang‘. Fikah bong bong, ateh logu – Take care, till we meet again Genevieve De Souza —President Tel: 9398 5375 email: [email protected]

August Monthly Sunday Lunch – Youth Day Celebrations Six young couples wonderfully attired in traditional costumes got the afternoons‘ events going when they swayed and hopped to two beautiful traditional Portuguese folk dances, ‗Cama sha‘ and ‗Regine Do‘. A truly inspiring performance by Caitlin De Souza, Shoshanna Beins, Jess Shanks, Peter De Mello, Chad Beins Jnr, Brent Simons and Jermaine Beins. Caitlin (2006), Shoshanna (2009), Peter De Mello (2007) and Jermaine (2010), were all winners of the Ida De Silva Music Award in their respective years. A band of 11 talented young musicians and singers then took to the stage and belted out songs by Mi-chael Buble, Red Hot Chillie Peppers, Michael Jackson & Katy Perry and finished the afternoons‘ enter-tainment with their amazing rendition of ‗In The Mood‘....brass instruments and all!!! Well done. You were all MAGNIFICENT!! There is no better way to highlight a celebration than with a grudge soccer match between the Youth and Veterans. Once again the winner was decided by a solitary goal in extra time. The day ended with a sausage sizzle and drinks while the Winners Trophy was handed to the triumphant Youth Team. Con-gratulations….again! My grateful thanks to Thelma Minjoot who taught the youth the Portuguese Dances, our sponsors and donors who provided gifts and lunch for our participants and the sausage sizzle. A big thank you to eve-ryone who helped make the day a truly enjoyable celebration for all our Youth.

Ten Pin Bowling AMF Morley has been booked for Sunday 12th September at 4pm (after our September Fathers Day monthly lunch). Based on the number of people registered (48) we are anticipating to take approxi-mately 10 lanes. An amount of $11.50 per person will be collected PRIOR to commencement and this will cover 2 games and shoe hire. Refreshments are available for purchase at the venue. Prizes will be given. If you have NOT registered and would like to us please contact me or any committee member before the 5th September. Late comers will not be accepted. If you are not bowling please come along and join us anyway and I‘m sure we will have a great time!
