Tonight's regular meeting was also our Humorous Speech / Table Topics contest and the committee decided it would also be a good time to make a couple of special presentations .
Long time member Ray was presented with his 20 year membership certificate tonight..
It was all a special surprise for him.
Some sneaky members had planned ahead and his wife Chris was smuggled in to the meeting to join him for his special presentation. Our resident Cake maker , Glennis had made a special Cake and Tanya had produced a very lovely framed certificate .
Ray had a lovely surprise that was made especially memorable by the fact that his wife was able to be there and share his moment.
Thank you to all those who made this such a lovely surprise for Ray.
CONGRATULATIONS RAY, WELL DONE !

Speech title was I ' Love....Darren then told us about "The Love Of His Life" his I'Phone. Very funny speech Darren, loved the way you took her to the medical centre ( otherwise known as a Telstra Shop) when she crashed and all you had to do was RE BOOT her. There are a lot of blokes out there who would love to think it was that easy to fix such a problem.... Well done Darren All speeches were well delivered and funny. Ray came in, in 2nd place for his speech titled "Yes Sir", some memories of his early days in the navy. The Table Topics contest was won by 1st time contestant Sam. Congratulations Sam, Well Done |

GOOD NEWS REPORT,
John's Surgeon has decided that he doesn't need to have the open heart surgery he was going to need, and that would keep him in recovery mode for a few months.
It seems a few lifestyle changes have helped the problem, great news John, keep up the good work. John will hopefully be back at our meetings as from next meeting....
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
We were born with two hands, one to help ourselves and the other to help others....
