Last Week
What a busy meeting we had back at Holm Park. It was wonderful to see so many people this week. We successfully completed both AGMs for the club and the Benevolent Society. We also had a visit from past Youth Exchange Student Lisa Bayer. Lisa is from Germany and was hosted by the Double's, the Button's and Steve and I back in 2016-17. Lisa is currently studying medicine and is living in Sydney for 4 months completing her research project.
Other exciting news this week - we have a new shed! Last Saturday an amazing group of members worked hard to empty our old shed in Narre Warren and unpack and rehome the club in the new shed. The new shed is located on the grounds of the Old Cheese Factory, Homestead Road, Berwick. Thank you again to everyone who assisted on the day. Reminder for those looking for a shed key, the key holders are Andrew, Jack, Trevor and Russell.
Russell and the rest of the RORP crew were busy harvesting a playground in Cannons Creek on Thursday. We have a couple more to go so if you can assist please reach out to Russell.
On Saturday night, Dave and Judy Button celebrated the wedding of their daughter Saffron. Thank you to the members that attended on Saturday afternoon to help out at the event. I hope the Button's had a fabulous day.
