Hi everyone,
I hope everyone has had a good week so far with some rain once again to settle the dust mid week.
What a great meeting we had on Wednesday with fantastic attendance to hear our guest speaker Leonie Staples, project manager First 2,000 days. Leonie gave us a very great overview of the work that her and her team have done in helping out around 125 families to date in this area with this project. After her talk our members engaged well in questions including but not limited to, “if we were able to help out with the Food Pantry, just to how we could best help”. A few of our members already were able to see if Leonie has already “tapped into” other local sources of goods that might fit with the project. We will as a club discuss if we are able to assist and have further discussions with Leonie.
We also heard of Leila & David’s experience at MUNA last weekend. Well done Leila of her accomplishment of having McCauley Catholic College attend this event, which from all reports is a 1st for our club, fantastic work Leila!
Bob also gave a summary of the previous Friday night’s raffle proceeds being donated to Tracey Faulston’s head shave to raise money for a family to be able to attend necessary treatment. Well done Bob for your efforts each week at the Raffles, and particularly great work for this worthy cause.
This Wednesday we are keen to hear from one of our newer members, Jeremy. Jeremy will give us some background into his life and his business Jempire Events, so come along and learn a little more about one of our newer members.
We also celebrated not one but three birthdays at the meeting with desserts and happy birthday being sung. Congratulations to Camellia, Skye & Des on yet another birthday.
Until Wednesday, take care & enjoy the rest of the weekend.
President Robert
