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.
