Welfare

Roma McAlister and Marianne Brown haven't been too well so we hope that they're now on the road to recovery.

Guest Speaker

The Guest Speaker for the General Meeting on 20th July was Patricia Skehan on Ross Smith, Aviator. Our August Guest Speaker will be Derelie Cherry from the lovely Paradise Gardens, Kulnurra, and our Guest Speaker at the General Meeting on September 21st will be a gentleman from the National Archives.

Because he has a long way to go home to the Blue Mountains, please note that we are going to listen to his presentation first, when the meeting starts at 1.00, and then we shall have the business part of our meeting. Afternoon Tea won’t be forgotten, it will be sometime during the afternoon!

1910 Estey Parlour Organ

We would like to thank visitor Bob Wilson for giving his time to clean and return this gem to full 'playability'. The full story is available HERE on our blog.

Camera Collection

We have recently dusted off our camera collection. For information on the more notable pieces in our collection, please click HERE.

Social Outing

We did have an interesting trip to the Jewish Museum at Darlinghurst. There was a talk firstly by one of the survivors of the holocaust, now 80, and then a tour of the museum. Morning tea was in a nice park in Pennant Hills, and we had an enjoyable lunch at Gladesville Sporties Club. Many thanks to Margaret Pearce for her hard work in organising this outing.

Working Bees

Working bees before the General Meetings will be continued during 2010. Drop in if you can spare the time - just an hour or two to help maintain the Complex would be helpful. Some of the tasks include cleaning, gardening or administration tasks. Any help will be appreciated.

Street Stall

Don't forget our street stall on Thursday 21st Oct. Donations are arriving, but we still need more to make the stall a success. There is a box of scrap material in the front office so if you would like to make some articles, please help yourself. We would be really grateful for any items you can bring in from now on - clean White Elephant items, handicrafts, good quality books, clothes etc.

Birthday/Christmas Function

It is our 60th Birthday this year. Our celebration has been booked at The Yellow Piano in Wyoming on December 14th. Please put this date in your diary.
