Unity plays at VIEW

August has been a cold and very wet month in Crookwell so it was wonderful to see so many members and their guests turn out. The band Unity are great entertainment and play a range of music. Keep an eye out for them as they also play at events around the Shire.
One of the members, Andrew is tourism officer for Upper Lachlan Shire Council and he gave a very interesting talk. Tourism in the Capital Country region is a 16 million dollar industry with 150,000 visitors each year.
Badges were presented to new members Nicki Spackman and Karen Crasnich -welcome ladies! Rhondda O'Connor was FOURTH time lucky with a badge showing her correct name. Sylvia Cullen, Inge Schulz and Patsy Miller received their 10 year badges- congratulations!
A speedy recovery to Bev Seaman who has recently had surgery.
A big thank you to Shirley Willis who collects beautiful bouquets for our birthdays. Shirley manages to find flowers in the middle of a Crookwell winter, bright colour to remind us that Spring is just around the corner.
The Convention in Canberra is fast approaching and Crookwell VIEW has representatives on all 3 days so well done everyone.
We have had a request for help for volunteer tutors. The Smith Family worker in Goulburn, Robyn is looking for help with the Indigenous Homework Centre and a Mentor Supervisor for the Student to Student program. Please contact any committee member for more information.
Until next time ..keep warm!
