A number of members helped out with the Super Tuesday Bicycle Count on Tuesday morning. We are paid $70 per person who participated and it's pretty easy fundraising.
Jane and I chose locations that finished up bring pretty quiet, it sounds like Donna and David were busier than we were.
Some of us have lined up to count again on Tuesday 10th. If you are available from 7:00 - 9:00am, register here to participate.
David, Geoff, Donna, Jane, Peter and I enjoyed the movie at the Sommerville. We had time for a chat, drink and something to eat before the movie. It was a perfect night for an outdoor movie.

Who's registered for district training? Let's see how many members we can encourage to attend. There's always something new to learn and the fellowship is invaluable. We might learn something at District Assembly that might help invigorate the club.
Book here for the Foundation Grants Seminar (at least 1 member from the club must attend)

She will discuss her journey from a shy, skinny kid from the northern suburbs to Police Officer of 37 and half years, a job considered completely out of left field for her. She will outline her police career, where she worked, tell some war stories and describe the challenges faced as a woman police officer in the late 80’s, early 90’s.
