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
