PRESIDENTS REPORT
Now we have turned 5, I think we should have a school photo taken. Our last photo
(2006) was whilst we were still in pre-school and only had 57 members, of which only 48 were
in the photo. As we have now reached our full membership of 100 I would like as many
members as possible to attend our May meeting so this photo can be achieved.
Also, a reminder to all members to wear your name badge at each meeting (and also on outings),
so our newest members get to know our names. It is easy for us to learn one or two names, but
just think of our new members with 90 plus names to learn.
Members please remember the Worker’s Club opens at 10AM and only the committee
is allowed in before this time to set up.
Our meeting starts at 10:30AM
Yours in friendship, fun and fellowship
Carole Harris

New Web Site
You may have noticed our new web site address on the front page which is supplied free of charge by Scott Smith of NiO (Northern Illawarra online). The support by NiO of our web page would normally be at a cost of $400 not including design and assistance given along the way and we are indebted to Scott for his help in this regard. Please keep in mind that the web www.nio.net.au is the informative web site for the district and should be on your favourite list.
