The Garage Sale 2018

Also welcome to our partners, Anne, Bev, Desley, Dianne, Heather, Helen, Lyn, Jill, Julie, Lynne, Margaret,, Pamela, Rashna, Rob, and Roma, It was with pleasure that we induct SK tonight. SK was introduced by Carol and inducted by our Membership Director Tony Coote. We Welcomed back Sergeant Rosemary from her travels around Australia, and Andrew Little after his knee reconstruction. Tonight we celebrated Christmas with a Kris Kringle under candle light. Thank you to Santa and his trusty Elf for stopping by. I hope everyone survived the storm without undue damage. I know the Baxter’s are unable to attend tonight as they suffered a number of fallen trees and their road is still blocked. In noticed that the McGowan’s had a tree in their pool and I hear the Makin’’s had a neighbours tree branch break some roof tiles. A big thank you to all who have run the Tree of Joy program and turned up to sort last Thursday. Thank you to Bernard who turned up everyday to collect the presents from the shopping centre and deliver them to the Turnbull’s. Thank you to David and Jill who once again so generously opened up their house for sorting. We collected around 750 presents which was a about 80% of the baubles put on the tree. This is our normal return and is estimated at a value of around $38,000. The Presidents Lunch is being held at Geranium Cottage( $35 BYO)n on Sunday Jan 6th. A booking has been made for 30 so book early with Carol to assure yourself of a seat. |
