President Andrea's Message .
What a wonderful opportunity to see & hear how the "Classroom in the Clouds" operate.
Tuesday's meeting really opened up my eyes on why even water is so essential to this project - to insure all students (boys & girls) get quality education is vital.
Thank you Sarah for all your hard work in getting us the Skype link.
Also thanks to all those who had fun dressing up. The Foundation was the winner.
Hope you all have a good long weekend.

The Perry's Receive An Unexpected Visitor.
Hugh & Margaret Perry had a surprise recently (as reported below):-
Living in a back section we never expected a car to come down our driveway at 2am and demolish our side gate and fence as well as parts of 3 other neighbours fences. Almost through the back fence of our property into neighbours below!!
The excuse, went down the wrong drive and into the carport that wasn't there. His car beside our 2 vehicles that were tucked away in our carport. Now have 3 Bay carport and not much fence left!!
No injuries thank goodness.!!

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.
