President Cheryl's Message
 
 
Hi everyone
 
Thank. you so much to Nils who filled in for Cassandra last week speaking on employment in our local area. He did well. Amazing the variety of job opportunities we have.
 
As a result of the great workshop session we had a couple of weeks ago I have put together our goals and intents (to view click here...). Not all are measurable but they are certainly achievable. A bit overwhelming when you put it all together but if we work as a team we can do it, plus more. Feel free to let the committee chairs know of anything else you think of that would be great for the club or our community particularly social events. They’ve suffered the most due to covid restrictions but as the infection numbers drop it’s time to think about getting back together or as the Blues Brothers say “get the band back together”.
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

Donation of Members Spare Reusable Supermarket Carry Bags.
 
 
Presbyterian Support Services SC Family Works Food Bank are looking for reusable supermarket carry bags to supply food parcels to families in our community (when families return for another food parcel they will swap the empty bag for another full one).
If any member has some spare they can bring them along to a tea meeting & give to Bruce Borrell (who is co-ordinating the collection for the club). Alternatively (if not coming to a meeting in the next few weeks) phone or text him on (0210) 239 9769  for him to organise someone to pick up.

  Thanks to the hard-working team of Jess, Lynette, Jenny, Basil & Bruce our Hot Dog van was spring cleaned last Saturday and ready to open after a long delay thanks to Covid (to view some photos click here...). 

Information Required
 
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.

Editors Humour.
 
Driving along a country road, Pat ignored a Bridge Out sign and continued on. But in a few kilometres, he came to a stop: The road was completely barricaded. So Pat turned around and retraced his route. That's when he saw this sign on the back of the first: "It was, wasn't it?"

Sandra just got a GPS for her car, and her first trip with it was to a chemist. Since the manual said not to leave it in the car unattended, she brought it with her into the store. While there, the GPS came alive, and a voice stated, "Lost satellite contact." Sandra wasn't embarrassed until a woman turned to her and said, "Your ankle bracelet monitor is talking to you."

When Jim (before he retired) took a real estate client to a handyman special. The place was great, and we couldn't understand why it was so cheap until we turned on the water main and water gushed from the ceiling. Dripping wet, his client put a positive spin on the showing: "Nice house," he said. "It's even self-cleaning."

Halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C., the train's engine fell silent. "I've got good news and bad news," the conductor announced. "The bad news is we lost power." My fellow passengers groaned. "The good news," he added, "is we weren't cruising at 30,000 feet."
