Hello Daybreakers,

I hoped to stir up a few people this week by fining those who hadn’t returned their club survey. Did it work ? For those of you who still haven’t returned your survey, please get onto it. This survey has been set up by PE Steve, PEN Liza and a strategic planning committee, which will determine direction for the next two years. Hate to be a nag (but I am quite good at it), if you are reading this from your PC now, and you haven’t done so already, then please fill out the survey and return it now, then I won’t get any money out of you next week… or the next. The survey was emailed to you on the 9^th of March if that helps you to go back and find it.

Our Speakers this morning were Principal Robert Dowell and Deputy Principal Joanne Roache from the Warrnambool Special Developmental School. They came to our club to raise community awareness of the work done at the school. Work begins soon on the new $14.6 million facility, to be built on Wollaston Road by Fairbrother Constructions. It is expected that the building will be completed by October next year, so children should be in their new classrooms for term four of 2019.

There is no funding available for playground equipment, so it is hoped that the community will get behind this cause and raise the money required.

This weekend some of us will be at District Conference. Others will be doing the BBQ for the Motor Show of support. Peter S has stepped into the job of co-ordinating and it is expected to be a huge day, the logistics are going to be quite a test. My thanks and best wishes go to all those who are working it.

As I mentioned last week, there will be a board meeting on the 12^th at 7pm, while anyone is welcome to attend, I extended a special invitation to next years board members to join us. I hope a few can manage to get there, including Cheryl even though it is her birthday.

Next Week : Cooked Breakfast $20.00

Please send apologies through to Steve on 0457 926 657 by Midday on the Tuesday.
