Anne's Message 

Thank you to Svetlana for organising our night out at a barbeque at Lake Pertobe. The food was terrific.
It is school photo time again, so it was good to catch up with Frank Monger and Janet from Mt Gambier.
Graeme Ward’s guest Jenny Lewis, from Horsham also joined us for the evening, as did Greg Lee. I do love having visitors.
We all enjoyed a relaxing evening of fellowship.

 

See you all next week at one of my favourite places in Warrnambool, our new library.
We had apologies from John Beks, Rachel Furnell, Brian Trenery, Tony Austin, Glenn Brotchie, Margaret Ross, Cathy Bligh, Janet Blackley, Ian Sharman, Chris Stebbing and Duncan Stalker

Port Fairy Folk Festival Volunteers needed
There has been great support from Members as in past years however we still need another 4 volunteers to fill 8 shifts .
The vacant shifts are across the 3 days (Friday evening/Saturday afternoon & evening/Sunday evening/Monday morning.)
Undertaking 2 shifts entitles the volunteer to a weekend festival pass valued at $365.
The crowd management task is not onerous and essentially involves providing directions within the Tent.
If you have family members, friends or work colleagues who may be interested have them contact David on 0438647536.

Anne Adams
Anne has been contacted by Marg Wagner from 'Enhance Work Placement Experience for Everyone' in regards to billeting under 18s throughout the year to help complete their tafe courses here in Warrnambool. These students live remotely and need to complete intensive elements here at our south west tafe campus. This program has a MOU with our district and is being asked of all clubs within our area. If you are interested, please talk to Anne. Brooke can also forward on the flyer and information.

HI-VIS VESTS: 
We are missing several vests and I ask if you could please check and see if you may have one lurking in a dark corner somewhere, (at home, in the car, at work, in the shed???). If you do find one, could you please check and see if it is clean and bring it back so we have a full complement of vests once more. Many thanks.
 
LIDS FOR KIDS: 
Please continue to bring along your washed milk bottle tops. Svet and her Girl guides are working with Lauren,  who came and spoke to us. You can give the lids to Svet or Judy. Bread tags are also still being collected.
 
SMALL CHANGE JAR: 
Many thanks to you all for your continued support of our fund-raising to END POLIO NOW. Your generosity meant the jar got very heavy and increasingly hard to carry.  The money was emptied out and has been stored safely!!  It will be combined with any further donations prior to the usual "guessing" competition at the end of the year.

One of the most overdue library books in the world was returned after 122 years...
 
Reader's Digest author Claire Cock-Starkey reveals her favourite facts about libraries and why they're so integral to our creative world.
From a library of smells in France to the real life Winne-the-Pooh, libraries hold information and creativity. In a way they are a safe full of secrets. It will be a great chance to visit our local library to see what (new) secrets it holds.
