After this each Club President or their representative will ask a question of either Julian or Greg. The cost is $35 per person which includes a $5 drink. It is a 6 for 6.30 pm start. Each President will speak for 2 to 3 minutes on a successful project, a process that works, or whatever they choose, but maximum of 3 minutes. Dinner at 7.00 pm. The meeting will finish at 8.30 pm.

The Garage Sale
We have just had our best and most successful Garage Sale on the weekend of 7&8 October raising a record gross - north of $35k.
Excellent Project Management and a large number of dedicated volunteers, some putting in hours of effort, in the weeks before the weekend contributed to this result. |

President Colin welcomed 28 members and guests tonight. Guests: Ann Turner and Senthill Kumal Palaniswamy. Partners present were Roma, Lyn, Margaret, Bev and Jill. It was pleasing to see all the ladies dressed for the occasion and a few of the men.
Thank you to Kerry for preparing and running tonight’s sweep and David for being a marvellous MC. Thank you to Neville, Col McGowan and Andrew who turned up last Saturday morning to help President Colin move the pallets to under the Guide Hall and the chairs out of the general container to the Church. Thank you to Anne, Jill, Bernard, David, Keith, Bob, Steve, Max, Margaret, Rosemary and Janelle who have volunteered to help with the Anna’s Cows Raffle this week at Cherrybrook Shopping Centre. More help is still needed so if anyone else is available next week from Wednesday to Saturday 10 am to 3 pm please let me know. Five clubs including ours are meeting together next Monday. It is disappointing that only 12 are attending what is our normal Monday meeting, just a different venue and combined with other clubs. |

Members and partners present were asked which Presidents Lunch option was preferred. Geranium Cottage ($35 each for Sunday Jan 6 had similar support as Billy the Greek ($43 each for Sunday Jan 13. There was no support for a BBQ at the Presidents place on Sunday Jan 13.
President Colin will have further discussion with Billy the Greek before making a decision. Given the current level of interest the booking will be made for the minimum possible so book early with Carol to assure yourself of a seat. We now have the required 30 for the end-of-year lunch at Muirfield Golf Club so it will go ahead. Don’t forget December 3rd is AGM night so please send your nominations for the Club Board and President Elect to Tony Makin as soon as possible. We will also hold a club assembly on the same night. This will an opportunity to have you input on some pending changes with the way the weekly meetings are held. The proposed changes are the result of the club survey held by Tony Coote earlier in the year. Until next week when the meeting will be held at the Epping RSL have fun, enjoy your Melbourne Cup winnings and be an inspiration to others. |
