It was a Social Meeting which really means that we chatted and told a few jokes. I was so busy chatting and telling jokes that didn't have time to take any photographs. Seriously, there is not much to say other than time seemed to fly by and that is as it should be. The reason why we now have a social meeting every month is because members complained that they never had a chance to talk to each other with so many speakers and a Business Meeting. It really was necessary.....though the President, as usual, had a few things to say.
This Week
There's a Board Meeting before our normal meeting when Lenore Terreblanche will tell us 'Her Story'.
These personal accounts by members are always so interesting and so much better than the old 'My Job' talks. I don't know who suggested them in the first place but it was an inspired suggestion.
Every photo we have of Lenore has her eyes closed.......?
Club Assembly
After the Board Meeting we will, no doubt, be told the date.
It is so important that everyone who can, does attend. A Club Assembly is the only body with
legislative authority. In other words only a Club Assembly can set the subs for the year or make changes to the Club's byelaws. It is also when the Board will set out its goals for the year under the various avenues of service and the Assembly has the authority to accept or reject them. The Board is subject to the Club and can only make recommendations for the Club to approve and the Assembly is the vehicle for that approval.
The Club Assembly is so important that it is necessary to give three weeks notice to members.
