Our thoughts are with DG Craig who had emergency surgery in late February at the Berri Hospital. He is now recovering and should be well enough to attend the District Conference in Loxton in a couple of weeks.
Lovely to know that Alison is now resting at home and feeling much better. We hope to catch up with her soon at a meeting. Paul Ensor is also resting comfortably at home after his operation and, although not doing cartwheels down corridors yet, he is on the mend.
I look forward to seeing you at the White Picket Café at 9.30am this Thursday.
Best wishes and have a wonderful week. Yvette, President.
For the benefit of members, we will aim to give the Duty Roster a few weeks ahead - see below.

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law.
"I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operations."
The son-in-law interrupted, "I hate factories. I can't stand the noise."
"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well, then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations."
"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just make you half-owner of a moneymaking organization, but you don't like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?"
