The Goalsetters’ breakfast last Friday was a huge success. More than 90 people attended, many friends of the club, spouses and partners of club members were there, along with our special guests, the three awardees and their whanau.

 

Our guests seemed impressed by the occasion. Many thanks to Jane Patterson and her team, Paula, Jeff, Richard for the selection of the awardees and the organisation of the event, and also to Julian for doing the printing.

 

The sponsors this year were all from the club, members and partners, Ian Paterson, Linda and Craig Wellington, Jeff Lee, Nicole Barker and Mark Radford. A very big thank you for making the awarding of three scholarships possible again this year. Great generosity and very much appreciated.

 

The whole room gave generously in the sergeant’s fine. Jane deposited $458.10 in the bank today, almost enough to send a student to Business Week next holidays.

 

We may soon have two new members: applications from Tony Robinson and Greg Lewis have been received. Tony’s has been approved by the board and is with members.  Greg’s is with the board and almost certainly will be approved for circulation to members. 

 

Bev Wells is the incoming President of the club in July this year. She and I have met to discuss arrangements for changeover – likely to be in the first week of July.

Bev will run a session for club members to set out her goals and to get feedback and input from members. That session is scheduled for the meeting of Monday 21 May. Please mark your diaries now.  

 

Next week we are back to normal with a meeting on Monday 26 March when we will be hearing Tamaris Livera give her new member talk. Then there will be another break with the following Monday (2 April) being Easter Monday, so the next meeting after 26 March will be 9 April..
