“We have a strategic plan. It’s called doing things”
The week that was …..
I hope you are starting to feel rested after a mammoth effort raising funds at Bobbo and then our Bunnings BBQ last Easter Saturday.
April for the Northern Beaches Community Cancer Care (NBCCC) will have a focus on raising funds for the establishment of the Wig Library at the Northern Beaches Hospital.

Many people, including customers and Bunnings staff, were very impressed that we were are supporting this local and very deserving cause and some donated very generously at the BBQ. Marie Rivett and George did a great job raising awareness people’s awareness of the Wig Library.
On Wednesday evening we had our regular Board meeting where much was discussed including our
Club’s Strategic Plan.
