Time on Air

Jean Burke was the 8th of November 

Brett Perston was the 11th of November

Chris Lewis has been looking into Working with Children Checks (WWCC).  He will be contacting new members for their details and those existing members whose details are out of date.

Chris also mentioned that the Melbourne Cup function was a success with great fellowship. A total of $665.00 was raised for Polio Plus.
Rosalie Martin reported on the bus trip to Violet town market on 9 November. There were two coaches with 90 people and raised a massive $2,133.00 profit and an additional $549.00 from raffles.
Rosalie said that she was grateful for the donated goods for raffles.

Mike Burke said that the Astor raffle is up to $9,500 with a 1 in 16 chance. $885.00 was taken on Friday night. There is a Rotary table booked for Friday night. We have been having a good regular turnout and invite all to join us for a meal, a drink and fellowship.

Karen Perston said that she hoped everyone got her email about the Step Out Against Violence BBQ on Saturday 23 November in QE2 Square. Thank you to everyone who has offered to assist and she will be in touch soon. Karen has also made contact with Headspace and is organising a time to present them with a cheque from the Club Foundation.

Christmas is coming up, and Karen will send out an email about the Xmas BBQ. Australia Day will also be upon us soon and Karen, will discuss preparations further at the Board meeting.

Food safety certificate- Karen will also discuss this with the Board tonight, but everyone might need to do an easy online training.

Alison Redfern touched base with Youth Exchange. Got some reports from the exchange student we have sponsored in Taiwan, Kellie Johanssen. Her next report will probably be at a January meeting as she is due home around that time.

Tiago has some trips to Dookie, Yarrawonga and the Camp in Mittagundi coming up.
