It has been two weeks since our last meeting and it has really been a quiet time. The meeting Monday night was also very relaxed with Steve Clarke acting as chairperson, and John Wolmesley relaying his story about being an disinterested student to becoming an expert in insurance, ensuring that each workplace was close to a local pub. He is now a happy house husband with his prime responsibility being caring for his 15 year old daughter, Penny, and preventing the pets from killing each other.

We have had two activities since the last meeting, with a very successful For a Meal packing event at Caulfield Grammar School, and the completion of the Peace Poles garden in Victoria Park Kew, under the supervision of Elizabeth Shepherd. We will need to have some continuing involvement in the garden, such as keeping the peace poles clean, watering and maybe weeding.

The next For a Meal packing will be held at RMIT on the 23rd of March. Please help if it is at all possible.

Other events coming up include a visit to Rimern on the 4th of May, with a follow up meal at Darebin RSL. This event is specially designed for new members to learn about Rimern. On the 25th of May we will be having a new members evening- and we plan to make this a very special event! The next important event will be Changeover, which will be held at Studley Grounds in Studley Park Rd. Kew, on the 29th of June. An invitation should be coming shortly.

Enjoy the rest of the week and I'll see you on the 20th of April, and please remember to bring some groceries.

Cheers

Jill
