President Andrea's Message .
As I sit here in the cold wrapped up in my blankie I'm hoping the girls from Timaru Girls High get those robots built so they can learn to turn on my heaters & take my dogs for a walk while I stay home warm and dry.
It was really interesting hearing the processes involved in receiving a QSM.
It is so organized and efficient.
Thank you Paul for sharing your experience with us.
As I'm writing this we are nearly sold out of tickets for the Movie night. Well done people. A great result for Polio.
Have a safe weekend and stay warm.
