Notes from the President
Congratulations to John McCaskill for organising an amazing trivia night on Monday. John was super stressed because the ticket numbers were small at the beginning of the week but by Monday night 97 people had booked. This was amazing. Alan Nash proved to be a wonderful quizmaster with a variety of questions of all topics. David Chivers organised the food and somehow ensured that there was enough even with the last minute rush on tickets. David and Michelle Critchley spent the night ensuring that the food was distributed rather than answering questions, Alex organised the sheets for the silent auction, and Fiona created the trivia night poster. Thank you David, Michelle, Alex and Fiona for your help. Also thank you to everyone who made delicious sandwiches and cakes for supper. It was an extremely successful evening and bodes well for the debating night to be held in two months time.
The movie night has been organised and the flyer is in this bulletin. Booking are to be made through Humantix, and it is important that bookings are made early to guarantee a seat. A private theatre has been organised and we will be sharing the seats with the Rotary Club of Kew. This means that there may not be room for adjustment for seat numbers at the last minute, so book early! It should be a fun film. Arrangements have been made with Glenferrie Hotel for us to have dinner after the movie.
You will all be interested to hear that our exchange student arrives tonight. He is from the Czech Republic and will be staying with me initially, until Alan has recovered. He should be able to come to the meeting at the Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre on Monday and you will all meet him.
The only other event coming up is the cooking morning on Wednesday 19 August, where I need eight participants. If you would like to help, please let me know.
Wishing you all a good week and looking forward to Monday night,
Cheers,
Jillian
