MEETING OF 13th May
President Daryl welcomed 22 members who enjoyed a great Chinese smorgasbord provided by the restaurant. Apologies from Leslie, Myffy, Dave and John G.
Points of discussion for the evening were:
- We have received a request for sponsorship of the Up To Date art show. The club typically sponsors a prize each year; if we get our response in early then we can select the category of our choice.
- Bingo last Thursday made a little over $100 profit; volunteers were Grahame, Ian, Albert and Alex.
- Each of the women present at the meeting gave a brief report on how they filled in Mother’s Day, with all reporting a lovely day with family.
- The mens’ breakfast at Uniting Church will be on Saturday May 25th with a guest speaker.
There were a few fines but the sergeant-at-arms couldn’t remember some of them, leading to a hefty fine on the sergeant. A number of clever cross fines made up for the lack of fines by the sergeant.
The evening concluded with a meat raffle, which was won by Wayne. Those extra tickets awarded by correctly “guessing” the Quote of the Week have paid off again!
REMINDER: Monday’s meeting will be a partner’s night; come along and hear Alex and Chez speak on their recent holiday to Japan and England.
