Jan's Chat 21

Hello Daybreakers,    
 

I have to say that I really enjoy the sound of chatter on a Wednesday morning. I think I really like having the smaller tables.

 
It was fantastic to have Barry join us, as he had felt he wasn’t well enough and recently put in a permanent apology. Thank you to Kate for her effort in joining us, I’m not sure who dragged who along, but it was good see you both.
There were plenty of Nelson trip stories, fish, mozzies, and all that goes on as the tradition continues. Plans are also under way for next years trip, quite possibly Portland. There was also some talk about Harpo’s idea to take a camping trip to Marnoo School, which could possibly be around May next year.
 
At last weeks Board meeting we allocated $1500.00 for Alternate to Schoolies, which Geraldine was very pleased to receive, and has said it will go toward the bathroom block.
 
We also allocated $500.00 to go to Kalay Academy, which is actually close to the amount we collect in the mug each week. Ian W has also organised a laptop for them, which will be loaned to the girls during school hours for use in class.
 
Rosters were passed around for the December and January markets. Don’t forget to add your name when the roster is passed around again next week and also please put your unwanted books aside for us to sell in December.
 
The Long Lunch Committee were in full planning mode this morning during assembly, and under Lydia’s experienced hand, plans were started for Daybreak’s 20th Anniversary Celebrations, for next July. Ian and Steve discussed the options for our Web site/ Clubrunner home page. Others not involved in these discussions just had a relaxing natter.
 
Hopefully the next assembly will give everyone any opportunity to expand their ideas, then give the entire membership an update.
 
There wasn’t enough time to have an official fun session this week, so we had some quick Brags, a few fines, then we totally ran out of time.
 
Plans are also underway for this year’s Christmas Party to be held at my place, 16 Jamieson Street, from 5.30 to 10.30 pm on the Saturday night of the 25th of November. The cost will be $30.00pp, BYO drinks, and all are welcome. And of course, wear something festive.
 
Next week will be a cooked breakfast and the cost will be $20.00.
 
Remember to send your apology through to Steve on 0457 926 657 by Midday on Tuesday if you won’t be at the next meeting.
 
Please also notify Steve if you will be attending the meeting but not having breakfast, as the Mid City require seating as well as breakfast numbers.
