President Hugh's Message.
 

Howdy, howdy, howdy! (Warning this may be recorded for training purposes)

I now know less than 10% of you click onto the second page of my newsletter article. That is because we only got that percentage of food items from members attending last weeks meeting. Entry to our meetings from now until our last Christmas meeting is by way of donated non-perishable food items for Presbyterian Support. Stephen made a special box for you to place the items in as you enter. Thank you, Stephen. I expect it will be full by the time the last member arrives with their contribution on Tuesday.

Charitable Trust Fundraiser Discussion.
 
Everyone is asked to get their thinking caps on as in the next few weeks there is going to be a tea meeting discussion on possible fundraisers the club can hold to boost our 'Charitable Trust' funds to cover the shortfall that we are experiencing because we have not been able to operate the Hot Dog Caravan under Covid lockdowns.

'Family Works' Food Bank Donations.
 
 
Don't forget to bring a non-perishable item along each week (until our second last meeting before Christmas) for donating to 'Family Work' Food Bank to go in the 'Christmas Food Parcels' they will be giving out.

Family Works 'Christmas Angels'.
 
 
Julie Dockrill is co-ordinating on behalf of our club the PSSC Family Works 'Christmas Angels' project where members can help by getting involved to buy gifts/gift vouchers, experiences etc for a local family (or if enough members involved 'families') in need this Christmas.

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.
 
While shopping for a bathroom scale, Paul found one that tracks not only weight but also body fat, bone mass, and water percentage. He nixed that one in favour of a low-tech model.
As he told the salesperson, “I don’t need to be depressed four ways; once is quite enough.”

In his late 80s, Bruce went to renew his driver’s license. At one point during the road test, he approached a four-way stop, looked to his left, and cruised straight through the stop sign.
“Sir! You didn’t look to your right,” yelled the frightened inspector.
Bruce calmly shook his head. “That’s my wife's side".

After Emma's husband injured himself, she ran him over to the doctor’s office.
There, the nurse dressed his wound and gave him instructions on how to care for it.
She then reassured him by adding, “Now, if you do everything I’ve told you, you won’t be with us for long.”
