Kitchen Corner December 2011

News Item

During our recent cruise with P & O, I had the privilege of touring the galley (kitchen). It was a tour and a half, between giant benches and enormous cooking facilities and now I am happy to be back @ my very own sink.
The break away was a great experience and I advise anyone to do a cruise and get on the big sea of fun.
Back to the real world now; December is the month of celebrating Christmas and to be thankful for all we have.
I would like to thank all the volunteers that helped our (your) club this recent year. Whether you helped out with cleaning and got your hands dirty, or you did some brain-wrecking office work, it is all part of the whole system that works for the community.
We have members who depend on a lift and thanks to those who shuttle them to and from they are able to spend time at their ‘home away from home’.
Thanks to the sponsors, big and small, improvements have been done outside the building. The place is looking better every year.
I am proud to say that our Club welcomes all visitors.
So much so, that on a certain day, within 30 minutes we had 3 new members signing up. Total strangers until they walked trough the door.
The membership number is now past 450 and who knows when we can welcome our 500th member.

First of all there are still some outstanding membership fees to be paid.

All members will receive a brand new membership card within the next few weeks. The mix-up with the membership numbers as was discussed at the AGM is now sorted out.
On you new card you will notice that you have got your original number back. If that is not the case that number belonged to a member who joined the club before you did, therefore it is his/her original number.
Also on you new card there is a windmill. That is the new card and any other one(s) you have are no longer valid.
Because of this confusion the Friday night member draw will discontinue, however the weekly $2. will be added and as from the first Friday in 2012 the draw will resume.
To win the draw you have to show your card and number.
In other words ‘you have to be there’
WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS          AND A HEALTHY NEW YEAR          Mia
         See you all back in 2012 on January 20
