G’day GMR members and friends. It’s great to have our bulletin back and being published
fortnightly. A huge thanks to Leanne for taking on the editor’s role. If you have any stories, photos or
yarns that you like to see included in our bulletin, please pass them on to Leanne at
leannejoythomas@gmail.com
Since the last edition our trivia team has found our footing and have moved up the rankings. It
would not be fair to all concerned to win all the time, so we keep that in mind when competing. Well
that’s my story and i’m sticking to it. Our current team consists of Tony & Leanne, Phil & Yvonne, Ray
& Donna and I. There is still plenty of room for more team members. So, if you would like to enjoy a
night trivia & laughter come along at 6:30pm for a 7pm start.
Bob has been busy with the defibrillator project, working behinds the scenes to assist the Village
Green Hotel having available to the public a defibrillator 24/7. A fun(d)raiser is planned for Thursday
6th July. Tickets will be $55 per head with $20 going towards our program. More information to
come.
Bob along with a small team consisting of Phil, Keith Wright and myself went to Dougherty Villa for
our monthly BBQ lunch. It was my first time that I have been involved in this very important
community service. I found it very rewarding to be able to give something back to those who have
done so much for their families and communities during their earlier years.
We were well represented at the Grafton Rotary Club’s 90th birthday celebration. Congratulations to
their members, past and present. What a great night! There were so many well known faces there
that I had not see for decades. There were a lot of stories told on the night. Some of which had the
truth sprinkled in there somewhere I was told.
Earlier this month we had a very social group participate in the Crown Hotel raffles where $338 after
expenses was raised. I was reliably informed that the 5th leg of the 4 way test was it full swing. So, if
you too would like to see if “Will it be fun”, come along next time.
A day of learning was conducted at a District Assembly held at Casino on the 7th May. Personally, I
was disappointed not to see a roulette table in sight. And the explanation about it being the beef
capital and not a “casino”, sounded like a lot of bull to me. Although I believe that Leila, Robert,
Herman, Bill and myself did return home with new knowledge that will help us during our upcoming
GMR board commitments.
