What to do when you have no guest speaker

This morning we found out that we had no guest speaker, so we all became 'the guest speaker'.  President Garry set the scene by asking that we all come up with a 'story' - which must be the Truth!   But it is something that has been untold by us, and is about us.  So . . .

 

Michael E mentioned that he and Gren had been to the Combined Schools ANZAC Day celebration in Belmont - and was very impressed

Julia went on a tour of Merredin and was very pleasantly surprised by the experience - and recommends it to anyone going there

Garry attended the Small Business Awards

Gren and Jill are celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary next week

Dianne went to the Dawn Service in Albany - not on Mt Clarence, but at the Entertainment Centre and was told the seats were all taken (some people had queued up at 1.00 am to make sure they got a seat!)  She had to watch the TV screen out in the foyer

Aidan went to the Interact meeting and found out that the students are keen to help raise funds for our Timor Leste projects

Peter told us more about the Youth Mental Health Forum coming up on Thursday 21st May, commencing with a sausage sizzle at 5.30 pm

Stephen gave us some information about Bricktober and how we could have a winner on our hands.

Michael B visited the Kodja Centre in Kojonup with his brother.  The local Noongah Elder who took him on the tour of the new Aboriginal Museum was very good. 

Deepti was a bit of a mischief in her final year of school - I won't say why . . . . but just ask her . . . . I'd hate for her to be found out, even after all this time.

Bev, at the age of 18 was working in a night club demonstrating how to do the Jive

Ron is heading to New Zealand shortly to visit with Sue's sister

Ros's oldest brother is a bit of a larrikin

Michelle started her working career in Woolworth's Variety Store in Subiaco and on her first day there had to walk around with her train fare money stuffed in her shoe

Brian worked at the wheat bins at Quelagetting (sorry Brian if I got that wrong) between Year 11 and Year 12 and made enough in those 6 weeks for his pocket money for the whole year

 

Amazing what we find out when we are given the opportunity.  Well done Garry for suggesting it.
