President Cheryl's Message
 
 
Hi everyone
 
Great chat over dinner last week. Click here... to view the list of activities we came up with at the end of dinner. I will put them into a table, and leave them at the welcome desk. Please put your name alongside one you would like to help organise. We need to resurface from a horrible three years from many angles. There’s something here for everyone. Some can happen on a Tuesday night, others on weekends. Good to go places other than the Club.
 
Next week it’s Richard Spackman from the Aoraki Foundation. We’ve had them speak before. Richard is new as their CEO and has influenced a whole new direction for them. It will be interesting to get the update.
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

Kindling Chopping Sat. 15th April.
 
You are invited to come to a kindling woodworking bee on Saturday 15th April, starting at 9 am and finishing at 12 noon.  The location is a shed (the sign above the sliding door is 'STORE 2) on LHS of Hayes St (when coming from the wharf end).
We have boxes of wood to cut into kindling. We need people with tomahawks and some people to stack boxes with the cut kindling.
If you are able to help please email me by clicking here... (if you have not already) so that we can organise numbers and morning tea.
As always a good morning tea will be provided.
Regards
Tony Henderson

Remember this is "your" bulletin and so please email information to me on what your committee is doing (or planning) so everyone can be aware of it.
Lack of the above will mean the bulletin is not advising the members of what is happening in the club & particapation will be down.
