See story and photo's below..
Our meeting 11th July among other things was a welcome back to our President Caroline and her Prince Charming Don.
They are just back from a long 6 weeks trip that took them to many places in the world.
They had a great time but I bet they were glad to be back in their own beds on the 8th July .
We are glad they had a great time and welcome them back to the "Land of Milk N Honey" .
Carolin thanked several people for filling in for her during her time away .
Vice Pres. Carol Thornton who chaired the 2 committee meetings in her absense.
A past president John Vaughan for chairing the June General meeting in her absence
Corolin also thanked Judi Edgington for taking the minutes at the meetings and keeping her up to date with emails while she was away..
Back to work now Carolin and back to helping organise the upcoming 40th Birthday celebration lunch.
Judi's clever daughter Michelle ( a desk top Publisher) has designed some placemats for the lunch and Caroline is now busy getting them printed and laminated... So those in attendance can take their placemat home as a memento of our 40th Birthday .
At Our July meeting Carolin inducted her 1st new member
Shirley Goodbar who was a great guest speaker at our June meeting and enjoyed our Probus club enough to join.... Welcome to our ranks Shirley.
We just loved Shirleys clever badges.
The Cruise story....

| Shirley wore 2 wonderful badges to our meeting. Our Guest speaker today was Prema D' Cruz who told us how to write and or tell a good story. She then went on to tell us not one, but three lovely stories. One was an update on her lovely rescue dog "Laddie" another was about how her dad told her the Ugly Duckling story and helped her overcome being Bullied, the third one was an amusing story about a cruise . Thanks Prema, all stories were great and well received by our members .  |

| An update on Laddie,......."My Christmas Miracle" Our welfare officer Jan Blanche told us who was sick and who needed to be kept in our thoughts. Our sympathy goes to Elaine Fry who has just lost her baby brother, we are thinking of you Elaine ...... Our next meeting will be on 8th August and will be our 40th Birthday and will be held at the West Gosford RSL club. The parking is usually easy and it is an all flat venue for those with walking aides. We have tried hard to think of everyone.... Hope you have booked and paid for your birthday lunch with Alan if so we will see you there. If you are not going to be there then our next REGULAR Probus meeting will be back at the Community Centre on Thursday 12th September at 10am. Hey .....I just realised it will be Springtime by then so no excuse not to be there. We have a meeting 10th October of course and then it is our BIG ONE, "The good Citizenship Awards." So Please mark the 14th November on your Calender as a morning NOT to be missed. We are the ONLY Probus club to be having this award morning and it is always "SPECIAL" ******************************* |
