Remember, we are gathering at Kalilis with Osborne Park this week to hear Jan and John Owen speak about the Kimberley Dental Team.
Last week, Ella, our outbound youth exchange student gave members a great overview of her year in Argentina. More to come on her presentation.
Here's a few more things for members to think about as we look to the future of our club:
Type of breakfast and professional venue
What product do people want from joining us
What is the value to members both existing and new
If brining a guest to hear a great speaker, invite more than 1
Things are progressing with our Black Cockatoo pocket forest project. David applied for a RAWCS project to assist with the group's fundraising, and this has just been approved. We'll soon be spreading the word further and getting our fundraising underway.
If you can help out on the pocket forest stall at the Hyde Park Festival on 1 or 2 March, see the link in the article below.
A reminder that this week, Donna is on roster for Bulletin Article/Photos and Rohan is student host.
