A reminder it is the Mini Golf Challenge this week, so come along and enjoy the fellowship of our visiting Rotarians from Group 6; I hope you’ve been practicing. Last Week: “OH WHAT A NIGHT”, sounds like a song title; It certainly was a great night last Friday night with approx.. 150 people in attendance at the Musical Trivia Night. Congratulations to all members who assisted with the organizing, the setting up, jobs on the night and the clean-up. Special thanks to the organizing committee of Raelene, Garry and Prue; and a very special thank you to the wonderful ladies that provided a magnificent supper. It was great to see such a cross section of the community supporting the event, everyone got right into the spirit of the night with many taking the opportunity to dress up. Some members were unrecognizable, who was that man with the microphone. The raffle was a big success due to two reasons, the generosity of the community on the night and also local businesses and individuals who donated goods. A wonderful community event we should all be proud of; special thanks to Leanne and the girls

for all their help and for putting up with me. Thanks go to everyone involved. Celebrations
