Final President Announcement Wed 23rd June 2010
by Joan Robison
THIS IS MY LAST MEETING AS PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT CLUB.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT I WAS ONLY THE DRIVER - THE REAL STUFF
WAS ACHIEVED BY THE TEAM BEHIND THE DRIVER, AND YOU ARE ALL
CERTAINLY THE 'A' TEAM.
THERE IS NOT
ONE MEMBER WHO IS REGARDED AS A 'KNIFE AND FORK' MEMBER
EVERYBODY HAS CONTRIBUTED IN EITHER SOME SMALL OR LARGE WAY
THE REASON I AM MAKING MY FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT TONIGHT IS
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT SUNDAY 4TH JULY IS TO BE A FUN DAY AND
MIKE AND I AGREE - NOT TO BE TAKEN UP WITH SPEECHES.
FIRSTLY YES, WE DID MANAGE TO RAISE $100,000 AND THIS HAS BEEN
DONATED TO CHARITIES OVERSEAS AND LOCALLY. ON THE TABLES
IS A LIST OF DONATIONS MADE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THESE
DONATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AND PASSED BY THE BOARD.
MY 2ND WISH WAS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAD FUN AND HAD A
GOOD LAUGH.
I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY FEEDBACK I
HAVE RECEIVED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THE REASON WE HAVE ALL HAD
SUCH FUN EACH WEEK IS BECAUSE OF THE GREAT GROUP OF SARGEANTS
DEL LOVETT, RAY MCINNES, ROB MCILDOWIE AND BRIAN BEAUMONT.
PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE SARGENTS
