2 Minute Noodle
Please remember that 2 minute Noodles are meant to be 2 minutes, not 10 minutes, it is important for the flow of the meeting that they are no longer than 4 minutes maximum please.
This week the 2 minute noodle was given by Dennis Hartley on his recent trip to Europe cruising down 3 rivers.
Announcements
President Tony announced that quite a few members of the Club attended the recent Funeral of Helen Hollingshead.
President Tony also announced that the Club has endorsed a lamington drive in West Perth for fundraising and a way of attracting new members.
Geoff Woods asked members to consider inviting prospective new members as Guest Speakers. The idea being that if they have an interesting topic to speak to the Club about, it gets their foot in the door and we can then invite them to be members of the Club. Pat is to set aside space in the Guest Speaker program for a prospective new member/guest speaker each month. Now it is up to us all to think outside the square and find these prospective members.
Don't forget our new venue CU29 Restaurant and Bar is $31 per head
1275 Hay Street West Perth (old ANZ Bank location).
President Tony's Parting Thought for the week
"No Act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted". Aesop
