Next Meeting - 15th January 2015

The meeting starts promptly at 10.30 am

Don't forget to come early.

This is the first meeting of 2015 and all annual membership fees are due but the good news is that annual fees are still only $12. Please make our hard working treasurer’s life a little easier by bringing the correct money in an envelope. If you want an application form one can be downloaded by >>Clicking Here<< . This form is designed to be printed on a DL envelope (110mm by 220mm).

The morning will have all the usual features:

• Buy your raffle tickets to win one of either $20 or two $10 prizes.
• Book a computer lesson
• Get your name down for one of the hit shows booking this year.
• Enjoy a tea/coffee and biscuits.
• Have a look for a bargain on the trade table.
• Pick up a copy of The Senior Newspaper and/or The Voice when they are available.
• Find out about our many activities that you can join in, there is something on everyday of the week.

During the meeting there will be the usual short reports about the various activities the club offers its members and you are able to bring up matters of interest to members during General Business - don't be afraid to speak up if there is something that concerns you, this is YOUR club.

The meeting usually finishes between 11 and 11.30am.

Some Reminders:

As was originally discussed late in 2013 and confirmed last year our financial year has been changed to coincide with the Head Office financial year so we will not be having an AGM in January. The AGM will be held in late July or early August (possibly 30th July but the actual date will be given in plenty of time before the event).

The club’s Birthday Book was getting a bit tatty so a new one has been produced - please write your name clearly in the appropriate date if you would like your birthday or anniversary mentioned at the meeting just before the event.

New members are most welcome to come along and find out about the club, there is a short newsletter available for new or potential members at the raffle/signing in table which details coming events and contact details for the various group leaders. Please take one.

It's 2015!

A Happy New Year to all our members

Don't forget our first meeting of 2015 is on the 15th January. See you then.

Merry Christmas

See you all again in 2015

Looking Forward to 2015

Well that is it! The club’s 2014 activities are over and it is time to look forward to 2015.

2014 was another successful year for the club and our end of year functions were very well attended.

Christmas Concert

The Christmas Concert was well received by a capacity crowd. New songs, hilarious skits, wonderful performances and some great cameo roles made for a memorable show. Afterwards Duncan and his team plied everyone with cups of tea and coffee as they enjoyed their snack - the ensuing lucky door prize draw ensured that the afternoon finished off on a high note.

Christmas Lunch

The final lunch of the year was attended by nearly 90 members. Dapto Leagues Club did us proud, the meal was excellent.

Surprise Presentation

Squeezed in between the meal and the raffle draw was a presentation. For once our President was lost for words when he was called up to be presented with his Branch Life Membership by our Vice President. Brian has been president of our club for five years and very much deserved this award.

 

Following this presentation Edna and Ann got stuck into the raffle with their usual enthusiasm, two tables were over flowing with wonderful prizes donated by members. In fact there were more prizes than attendees so some lucky members went away with two gifts. What a great effort by everyone.

 

Next Meeting

The first meeting of the club in 2015 is:

Thursday, 15th January 2015

We look forward to seeing you all then. Annual membership fees are due at that meeting, it is still only $12 for the year.

In accordance with members’ suggestion we will be recording the next of kin details in our membership file. All that is recorded is a phone number of a relative who you would like to be contacted in the event of an emergency. This is purely optional so is entirely up to you whether you choose to take advantage of this. If you would like such a phone number recorded (land line or mobile) please write it clearly somewhere on your membership envelope.

Please make our hardworking treasurer’s job a little easier in January by enclosing the exact money for your membership subscription. Thank you.

Once again: To all our members…

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

All the best for 2015.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Last Meeting of 2014

A reminder that the last meeting of 2014 is on the 4th December at 10.30am (but don’t forget to come early for a cuppa and a chat).

To celebrate Christmas the fortnightly member’s raffle has been raised to three prizes of $50 each yet the price remains at three tickets for a mere $1. You have to be in it to win it but the chance of you winning is infinitely higher than your chance of winning Lotto. Have a go, you never know your luck.

Christmas Concert

Time, once again, for the annual Christmas Concert. It’s in Heininger Hall at 1.30pm right behind the Ribbonwood Centre on the Princes Highway. As usual there is a jolly good time on offer followed by a snack with tea and coffee as well as a monster raffle. Get there a little bit early for a good seat.

The Advertiser ran a small piece about the concert in this week’s edition of the paper.

Dapto Seniors thanks the Advertiser for their on-going support.

The Next Meeting

Finally…

See you all then.

Don’t Forget!
