Our Invocation (Thanks to Raili's Dad) reminded us that the eradication of Polio is all about NOT leaving any child behind.

Attendance Desk for Jan 2nd is Linda W, Tom Calne and George Low, but Linda is trading with someone.

Next meeting is January 2nd next year!

We have been a VERY BUSY Club heading into Christmas. Thanks to all who led an event or attended and helped out!
