October - Pat Claridge on the Tomorrow, Today Foundation

29/10/2016

 
​Pat Claridge from the Tomorrow, Today Foundation was guest speaker at our October meeting.  Pat outlined just some of the programs that the Foundation runs leaving the audience overwhelmed by the range of programs running to assist children from preschool to secondary level. 
 
The aim of one program is to have children ready for school while another coaches older students on how to present at interviews.  This was a very informative and enjoyable session.  Pat then joined the group for morning tea and talked too many of those present who had further questions.  Thank you Pat.

Members of the Patchwork group will have quilts and patchwork on display and we will be entertained by the Singing for Fun group.  Morning tea will be served.  All welcome

September . 'You be the Judge'

1/10/2016

 
Chris Gill from the Sentencing Advisory Council presented our session in September.  The case which we were asked to judge was about a young man who was charged with arson as well as other crimes committed during a robbery.  Most of our members agreed with the judges verdict of guilty and also with the sentence, especially when we heard that the perpetrator had already been charged with 19 other crimes.   This was a very informative session and gave us a little insight into sentencing and what the judge has to take into account.

    About Meet and Mingle

    This is a general social gathering of members to have morning tea, a chat, and sometimes have a guest speaker.  It is not a formal business meeting but a short time will be allocated for news from the Executive and program groups. 

    All members welcome.
