Advance Notice

Delegates at the CPSA Annual Conference heard her speak and found her an excellent articulate speaker – she will be most informative. as usual members will be able to ask questions.

Birthday Lunch

Our Birthday Lunch is to be held on the 2nd August at Dapto Leagues Club in the Sinclair Room so tickets will be on sale soon. Still only $20 for a delicious two course meal, with the usual door prizes and good company.

End of Life Preparations.

In August a representative from Legal Aid will be speaking to us about end of life considerations, which might involve the death of a spouse or making a will. Not a topic we talk about much but something we all have to face.

These speakers will be attending meetings in July and August - more details will be given nearer the time.
