Senior Volunteer of the year
Congratulations to Peter Smith on his award as
Senior Volunteer of the year and the overall volunteer of the year
for the Mid-western region of Sydney. Thanks go to Rod and Gulian
for support of the nomination. As a Club, we have always been aware
of his participation in community events, and the Graffiti Removal
project would not be the success it is without the efforts of Peter.
At our last Board Meeting of the Directors on Tuesday, 21 August, it
was agreed the Club will increase our drought relief assistance, to
be in total $1,500.
Police Officer
of the year
Planning for Police Officer of the year is
progressing, the date 19 September, 2019, at the Carnarvon Golf Club
in Lidcombe. The selection of a venue this year has added another
layer of administration to the event. My thanks and that of the
whole Club, to the team of Usha, Rod and Allan, taking on the data,
going to the venues, enduring endless discussions. Thankfully, this
matter is now closed. This is just for the selection of the venue,
not the nominations and the evening itself. More work ahead. It will
be a great night and all Club members will have a task.
Strathfield Spring Fair
The traditional Strathfield Spring Fair and BBQ
is set for 01 September, 2018, to aid the Catherine Sullivan Centre.
Pleasing to have Andrew, an experienced BBQ manager, working with
Thaya. There always remains a possibility of an innovation to the
sausage , onions and bun, with sauce?
Matters
electronic
I have taken on the Club Facebook Administration,
(I really mean Olga). On Sunday evening, Past President
Raymond, while on leave, handed over the authority, from the middle
of nowhere. Another challenge for the President, I think it could be
interesting for all concerned. The Website has to be updated, while
there is current information and photos on the site, there remains a
lot of old material to be edited and some removed. The Board is
addressing the web management, but help is required. Please let me
know if you can assist.
