Our meeting this week focussed on ANZAC Day and we welcomed David Grierson as Guest Speaker and his wife, Pam – David challenged us on “Why Anzac Day is so important”.
Being Anzac week, let us remember all who have gone before us and appreciate life as it is today. As always, continue to enjoy all of the Opportunities that RCNB has Open to you.
See you in a couple of weeks.
President Greg 😊
We wish President Greg and Jenny a relaxing break at their island home.
If you enjoy playing around on Excel spreadsheets and organising people for duties let Maurie or Estelle know.
