President's messageIt's Mid-Winter and members that are home continue to enjoy what we have to offer. I think it’s good to have place to be on a miserable day and friends to share it with. We continue to welcome new members and are closing in on 300.
At our July Meet and Mingle, members were greatly entertained by our guest speaker, Tim Bowtell, and now we all wish we could paint a portrait upside-down. On Thursday 25th October, for Seniors Month, we are holding a morning tea. More about this later. We now have a microwave oven in the kitchen beside the fridge. Dorothy Webber
