Club News

May 2026 Boxed Auction

Our club held a shortened meeting to allow time for the main event of the day, our Box Auction, with Members and guests in attendance. Numbers were down due to a clashing of events, however we still had a successful day.

The Box Auction was beautifully presented, all colourfully wrapped and the auctioneer, a club member, did an excellent job, and has done it for some years now, as this is an annual fundraiser. The venue is a hotel and they have lunch served. A lovely young waiter ended up bidding $35 for one box and $15 for another, he had the room in laughter (one lady bid $100 for him). Maybe he had Mothers’ Day in mind.

Members were happy with the amount raised considering the low number of attendees.

Activity Update

Our major fundraiser was an amazing success this year raising a record amount to fund our 13 Learning for Life students. Our members were very enthusiastic in their bidding and a lot of fun was had by all.

JUNE’S Speaker is from One Time Pet Rescue, and she has hinted that she may bring some kittens for us to cuddle

JULY’S SPEAKER promises to be very interesting and informative as she will be speaking to us about Tissue and Organ donations.

AUGUST will have a retired Police member and his policing journey.

Easter and Upcoming Meetings

Easter is fast approaching, although it feels like we have just got through Christmas!

Our ladies have donated very generously again for our Easter Raffles this year, and much enjoyment was had putting them together in readiness for next Monday's monthly lunch meeting. At this month's meeting, Casey Orili gives us a very relevant talk on My Aged Care. In May we have our annual Box Auction fund raiser, and in June, Michelle from ‘One At A Time’ pet rescue will be telling us about her experiences.
