President Usha's Notes
26 May 2021
Dear fellows,
"To be in
someone's prayer is priceless. To pray for someone selflessly is equally
priceless."
Acharya
Chanakya
The
big day is here. The countdown has started and the excitement begins. The
event is, I daresay oversubscribed. Such an overwhelming response is humbling.
Fabulous work by the team in putting this landmark event together. Thanks to
Roger Vince, David
Croft, Peter Manenti, Rod McDougall, Raymond McCluskie, Rick Vosila, Alexey
Prokopenko, Ying Ho, Andrew Aravanis, Thaya Ponniah and many
others). Great thinking and great effort. We look forward to an amazing
program, great fellowship from old times, speakers, music, exotic food,
surprising glimpses of old photos and our fabulous MC Rick Vosila.
The Youth Awards
preparations are going great with Ed Dunlop and his team (Peter Smith, Arie
Pappas, Steve Argyris, Bradley Ayres) making good progress.
The Changeover
will be held on Saturday 26th June evening. Please reserve the date.
Our last Board
meeting of the year next month will be a joint one with the existing and
incoming Board. Please bring to attention any issues or matters of interest.
A visit to Mirvac,
Olympic Park to view the built to rent apartments arranged by Steven
Argyris for Friday, 28th May 11am has shown interest with many. There is still
time to register if you intend to join.
Thanks to many of
you who have contributed generously to the call for emergency relief work for
essential Covid19 supplies to India. We have close to our mark of $10,000
mark. Please contact Thaya Ponniah for more information.
Strathfield Football Club,
has reached out to us to seek out volunteers to assist with ground official
duties during matches on Saturdays and Sundays. If you are interested, please
contact Davide Graniero on 0414 816 141.
Last week we had this opportunity to hear from Harry
Kimble about Travel adventures to Easter Island. More from
Janelle Watson
in the bulletin
(click).
And Sergeant Nick seems to have thoroughly enjoyed
the fashion parade as did the members in the meeting. I missed the evening due
to family reasons.
This week we will have the opportunity to hear "my
story" talk from our own Nella Hall. This is a virtual meeting.
Look forward
to our meeting
