President’s Monthly Reflections – Carole Ross

Hello to all our members. Well, it is nearly time for me to pass my President's seat on to the following person, namely Tony Asquith, who has put his hand up for the position for the coming year. I have put my hand up again to do the Membership so you will see my smiling face at the door again. Our numbers have been consistent during the year. We have had quite a few new members joining us and we are very happy they have expressed interest. One of our couples, Cec and Lyn Knight resigned having moved to a retirement Village in Ashfield to be closer to their family. We have been fortunate none of our members have passed away this year except a former member Brian Dennis who moved to live in Canberra he was in his nineties. I posted Christmas Cards at least two weeks before Christmas when the Post Office said they would be delivered before the big day. Three of the recipients contacted me to say they had just received the card at the beginning of February. Two of them were about an hour’s drive from the postage point and the other lived in Lismore. I called into the P.O. to complain and was told it can take up to 27 days for the delivery of mail, but these took 56 days to get there. No wonder the Post Office has gone broke. The guy I spoke to virtually said bad luck nothing can be done. What happened to customer service? That's my gripe for the day see you all at the A.G.M. Please all come along to cast your vote we are still looking for bodies who would like to be part of the committee. You can fill in a nomination form at the meeting providing you have paid your yearly subs of $25 either into the bank or in an envelope with your name on it
