Hello Daybreakers,
It seems quite a while since we had a normal meeting with ANZAC Day then the race meeting. It was a busy morning with lots of chatter, plenty of fines, and lots of laughs. Barry had to remind me again to slot in the Brooker Prize, and said I always forget him. That’s not quite right, but very close – it’s another thing I do regularly forget. It seems I haven’t trained people to remind me of things as well as I should. Only three regular meetings to go, I promise I will not forget again.
Louise Keogh from RC of Warrnambool brought along German Exchange Student Ben to say goodbye to us as he is heading home tomorrow. We didn’t see a lot of Ben during his year here, but he was always entertaining, and a delightful young man. There is no doubt that if our club had more involvement in the youth exchange program then we would get to see these students more. Louise has asked our members to please consider hosting one or both of the incoming students in the coming year. There is a French girl and a Danish boy, and Louise has requested that we consider hosting, even if it is only for a brief period. Four weeks or even a weekend is a help to the councillors and other host families – please make it known if you are willing and able to help in any way.
Janey filled our heads with some interesting facts. We congratulated Gerard on his 50m Coastal Classic 2018 win. Mel was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation from Operation Cleft. Numbers are looking good at this stage for the Scriptwise Forum, and our efforts for the Community Kitchen (Soup Kitchen) are being well organised by Jenny. Harpo sent around the roster to be filled for the Flagstaff Hill BBQ on the 27th May, and Sue has organised “The Party” movie for us for the 30th of May. Perhaps June will be a quiet month, well it will be for me after the sixth.
Next week we will have a speaker to give us some information on how the NDIS is working locally.
Next Week: Cooked Breakfast $20.00
Please send apologies through to Steve on 0457 926 657 by Midday on the Tuesday.
