President’s Paragraphs

Last week we had a terrificresponse to the St PetersWoodlands Father’s DayBreakfast and those whodid help are to be con-gratulated on not only agreat turnout, but also ajob well done.Special thanks go to Bill

for his outstanding management and I am surethat this had a lot to do with the ease with whichthe morning ran.That evening, about a dozen members and part-ners went to the first of hopefully many “HappyHours” at the Glenelg Football Club.It was a good night and highlighted the need forus to meet more frequently for some social ban-ter. Thank you to Bronwyn for organizing this.

I would like to urge all members to to get activewith raffle ticket sales and wine orders so that ourcash flow will allow us to participate in some ofthe funding requests that are being made to ourclub.

At our recent Group 8 meeting, we were remindedof the need for all members to pay their subs toensure that they are covered by our insurance atfunctions that we hold. If there is a problem withpayment, please talk to Brenton or myself to en-sure that we are all covered.Have a good week and I will see all those who canmake it on Tuesday morning.
