President's Pen

Hello to everyone who reads this weekly publication.

 

I want to say how sorry I was to hear of our Secretary John Campbell's impending three months away from our club whilst he conquers his pending surgery and recuperation.

I am sure John that everyone joins me in wishing you a very successful and speedy recovery.

 

Our next Catherine House working bee is planned for this coming Saturday at 8.30am and out team includes John C. Can't keep a good man down.

 

Our unscheduled meeting last Thursday at the Cafe Outside The Square was successful and Julie and I are meeting with Mike and Llew this coming Thursday morning to massage their offer .

 

This week our meeting is at the Royal Coach and our guest speaker is Michael Francis from the Hutt Street Centre.

 

We have 27 people who have confirmed their attendance this coming Friday evening at 6pm. at the Club's Riverside Soiree at the Riverside Rowing Club's balcony overlooking the Torrens River for a sit down dinner featuring paella and drinks from the bar.

We have a number of Rotaractors and Eastwood members attending.

 

Our next barbeque is at Bunning's at Mile End on Monday 15th. October and Di is seeking volunteers please.
