Stories

President Elect Janine opened the meeting and President Andrew closed the meeting - sort of a reverse leadership coup!
Another coup was to have our meeting again at the Davidson Restaurant - a great atmosphere, excellent food and first class service from the students.
The Evening’s Program
Members met in their service committees.
 
Hamburger Stand – 15 to 18 October
Remember that 15 to 18 October is the Geelong Show and Adrian has distributed the roster sheets.
Members, families and friends are asking to find a shift or two so we can make this our major regular fundraiser another big success.
 
Working With Children Checks
We need Working With Children Checks for contact with our Exchange students. The application is done on line at the Department of Justice website and you need a photo and 100 ID points.
 
Consent to Publication forms
Those members who have not as yet completed, signed and returned to the Club Secretary the Consent to Publication forms distributed in June are asked to do so.
