In todays world, life is like looking for your phone. Most of the time it is in your own hands.
Thanks Graeme Guilford.
Hey team
Hope you are all having a great week 😊
President Alice opened the meeting with a brief rundown of how this year she would like to showcase to us some of the different clubs from around the world and the work that they do. Great idea Alice!
This week we were given a peek into the workings of the Couer d Alene Sunrise Club of Idaho USA. A 62 member club who are very supportive of projects which focus on women and children. They have built a preschool in South Africa and have been involved in the Survival Gardens Project in South Africa delivering over 1000 kits with the basic requirements to start a garden and empowering women to be self sufficient. Loads of other things as well and it will be great to see what other clubs throughout the world are doing over the coming year. We might get some great ideas that we can use.
The 2nd part of our AGM went well, so thanks to all who were able to attend. President Robert and Directors delivered their final reports for the year which were well received.
Great speaker next week - Sofia Shing (David Wheadon's Granddaughter) on her time at Georgia University USA on a Tennis Scholarship.
Special thanks to David Hulme for shouting us all for his birthday.
Sheryl 😊
Below are a few pics from the working bee at Joyce Cowlings last weekend.
