Karen Perston said that our next meeting will be our Christmas celebration. She has managed to organise a basic Christmas Dinner and Dessert for $35.00 per head. She needs to let the club know numbers by the 13th of December so please email, call or message Jean to let her know if you can attend ASAP.
Charlene has sent out the table the Albury Highschool Journal. As a thank you for the funding from school they have provided a basket of goodies and a card. Possibly raffle it at the Christmas meeting.
Peter said that he has been in regular contact with Deb McMillan discussing support that is needed now and in the future. Peter has also been in Wagga and filling a container that he plans to take on his next trip to Nepal on the 25th of Feb. He is also in contact with Corowa in regards to the container program. He has also put together a list of projects that he will discuss with the Board tonight for an application of Budget allocation.
