Federal Member for Flynn Ken O\u2019Dowd has advised that he has secured $4000 funding for Wondai RSL to ensure Year 9 students in his electorate can take part in a special World War I publishing project.<\/p>\n

The announcement today means all three Federal electorates that dissect the South Burnett have now contributed funding towards the project.<\/p>\n

The biographical book will recognise the service and sacrifice of local residents who served during the Great War. It is being prepared by Year 9 students from throughout South Burnett.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is one that I consider to be worthy of support and I am happy to make this money available through the committee which is organising the 2015 Anzac Troop Train re-enactment from Winton to Brisbane the week before ANZAC Day 2015,” Mr O’Dowd said.<\/p>\n

“The committee is working with Neil Burrows from Wondai RSL to ensure further involvement involving school children from this area in the movements of the Troop Train.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $4000 funding will be provided in late August to the Wondai RSL who will pass the money to the South Burnett Regional Council which is organising the project.<\/p>\n

Cr Ros Heit, who is overseeing the project, welcomed the news.<\/p>\n
