Board of Directors FY20

G’day everyone and welcome to another fun-filled week!!

 

Last week’s meeting was filled with fabulous chatter and ideas flowing from committees!  

 

John McGleer and friends from the John Mc Foundation which works closely with homeless people, donated 17 boxes of toys for the showbags for KFRWT - and offered us an ongoing supply of 4l containers of ice-cream, which, alas, we had to decline!!  Lol!  He was interested in hearing about the Dig In Cafe though and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that ice-cream ended up being served there.  ;)

 

Our newest member, Ros Weadman, gave a very enlightening Behind The Badge talk with a very impressive powerpoint presentation which showed how her passion for animals, life and work all merge together to create, what seems to be, a very “sweet spot.”  She introduced us to the Japanese concept of Ikigai…which according to Google is…

A new concept on the secret of a happy life.Ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) is a wonderful Japanese concept that essentially means “a reason for being.” It's made from two Japanese words: iki, meaning “life” and kai, meaning “effect, result, worth or benefit.”Something definitely worth contemplating as we go about our busy lives.

 

Thank you to Nicole from the Paradise Pub and Marcus for following up, the new owners are more than happy to have us continue to meet in “our room” and in fact, plan to do some upgrades to it as well.  We don’t know details of meal prices etc as yet, but hopefully Marcus & I will be able to meet with them soon to sort all that out!  As they say in the classics, “watch this space!”

IMPORTANT!!

Please note that we are unable to meet at the current location after our meeting on the 20th August.  The pub has been sold and the new owners are doing renovations which will take at least 2 weeks.  

27th August - Great Community Raffle Presentation at Ferntree Gully Holden
3rd Sept     ZEST cafe in Emerald  (usual time)

This week will see Charlotte Read come back to visit us.  She will also be our Guest Speaker to talk about her experience at the Deb Ball held earlier this year.  I’m really looking forward to hearing her perspective and feedback as a participant.  It always looks terrific to the guests, hopefully the students enjoy it even more!  ;)

See you soon!!

Hooroo for now

Conundrum of the week….

A horse is tied to a five metre rope in front of an old saloon.  Six metres behind the horse is a bale of hay.  Without breaking his rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses.  How is this possible?
