Past President Lee presented Ray with his Life Member-ship Certificate and Bill and Helen Smith received their club T shirts.

The following meeting we were entertained by David and Daphne who expressed concerns that Council is “slow” in promoting the valuable heritage content of our city.

Rosemary and I presented a cheque for $300 to the

Headspace group and were pleasantly surprised with the

reception we received.
