Jean Pennell National Councillor guest speaker at July dinner meeting
Jean Pennell's opening remark that she 'had never been to a club like this!' brought smiles and laughter to the room. Jean went on to describe Crookwell VIEW as having a feeling of excitement and friendship. President Sylvia in fact had to repeatedly ring her bell to bring the meeting to order. The conversations between old friends and new, between guests and members could be halted only briefly to attend to the agenda items!
Jean thanked Delegate Justene for doing a great job. The Delegate has a pivotal role in getting a lot of information to the local members.
Jean then presented badges to five new members and congratulated the Club on it's growing membership.
Finally Jean gave an overview of The Smith Family Learning for Life programs. There are too many to mention individually, however the support and assistance can start from before the child is born with parenting, to tertiary level with mentoring and personal development.
Sally Cullen thanked Jean for a most enjoyable and interesting talk.

June Dinner Meeting
Alison McIntosh was the guest speaker at our June dinner meeting. Alison is a dedicated member of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth. This organisation provides an opportunity for interaction between agriculturalists at a grass roots level. Alison has been involved with projects in Zambia and PNG as part of 'Understanding and Assistance Missions.'
This is a time for enthusiastic young agricultural minds to gain an insight into another culture while giving practical assistance and sharing knowledge.
The audience was captivated by a presentation showing pictures of life in rural areas where poor wages, limited education and diseases such as malaria and AIDS make life very difficult.
Alison took many questions from the floor and was thanked by Heather Davies for a most enjoyable and thought provoking talk.
