President's Ramblings
Thanks to all who attended our AGMs last week. It was an interesting might due to the power surge related security alarm issues. Thanks for your patience in helping to get through the formalities with the alarm blaring in the background.
PE Jen Marshall announced her key board positions for the next year, and I think you’ll agree the club will be in good hands moving forward.
 
PP Geoff also filled us in on the proposed garden projects with SJOG Berwick, which received resounding support for the club members. Keep an eye out in the new year as this starts to take shape.
 
Momentum is continuing to build with our annual Christmas Collection. The first round of donations have already been collected from Nossal High School and delivered to CNCISS. More collection are planned across the next three weeks so be on the lookout for call for volunteers to assist.
Collection cages have also been placed at the following local shopping centres:
 
Berwick Marketplace – Outside Woolworths
Eden Rise – Outside Coles.
 
 
 
We have been successful in obtaining the pallet load of lego products from DIK. PP David and Mary collected this on Saturday. This will be shared between Windermere and CNCISS.
 
Our donations to Windermere are being handed over this week and as well as the lego and playdough products includes $1500 in gift vouchers.
 
This week, Wednesday December 4th is our Christmas Party at Shanikas. The event is fully sold and promised to be an awesome night. Don’t forget to dress up in your best Christmas glad rags!
 
Cheers,
Andrew
