President Andrea's Message .
Tuesday nights meeting once again confirmed for me how great the people of Timaru are.
We live in a city where people help one another in so many ways. The 'Menzshed' has an amazing future.
As for the 'Eco Centre', this will became another great educational facility for Timaru and the wider community.
We are all gearing up for a very busy weekend with the Hotdog Caravan. The Rock and Hop is a huge event for Timaru.
As I sit in my armchair watching the news tonight I am saddened to hear the devastating news in Christchurch. May we all take time to send our friends and families in Christchurch as much support and love as possible. My thoughts go out to each and every person effected by this tragic event.
Stay Safe People.
Stay Positive for Our Country.

A Riddle To Solve.
The answer to the last riddle:-
A. A promise
The word "what" is spelled with four letters (w, h, a, and t). The word "sometimes" is spelled with 9 letters (s,o,m,e,t,i,m,e, and s) etc.
Thinking caps on again and try to solve this weeks riddle:-
I am a word that begins with the letter I. If you add the letter A to me, I become a new word with a different meaning, but that sounds exactly the same. What word am I??
The word "what" is spelled with four letters (w, h, a, and t). The word "sometimes" is spelled with 9 letters (s,o,m,e,t,i,m,e, and s) etc.
