NEWSLETTER

MAY 2023

 

Today’s speaker is Fiona Malcolm, Senior Librarian at the

Melbourne Athenaeum Library

 

PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR MOBILE PHONE

 

 

 

BIRTHDAYS:  Happy birthday wishes for May are extended to Leonie Parker 17th, Lynette Kruck 20th; Shirley Griffith 22nd.. Hope your birthdays will be fabulous ladies.

 

SICKIES:          Thankfully there have been no members reporting in sick for this month so far.

 

There have been some suggestions from some members that perhaps the Newsletter could be put together a little more clearly, eg, put everything that’s going to be done on a monthly basis, not by activity. We can try it this way for a few months and see what everyone thinks, and then make a decision.

 

MAY 2023

18 May          Coffee Morning – coffee and a chat.

5th Thurs         For our new members an explanation is needed here. “Thursday 29th June” is a Fifth

Thursday; usually we don’t do anything on those days, mostly we have a rest and take time

to attend to other things that we’ve been unable to do. You are not required to attend this

outing, it’s only been organized because so many of our ladies have mentioned that they

hate it when there’s a fifth Thursday because they say it’s two weeks before they see their

friends again!

                        So, here it is:

29 Jun              Mr. Frank’s Café, Coffee & Chat - from 10 am onwards. The café’s address is 1st Floor,

                        101 Wells Street, Frankston, opposite SouthEast Water (beach side of the highway).

There’s an escalator to take you to the first floor. The café has floor to ceiling windows.

which offer a beautiful view of Frankston and the bay.   BOARD OUT
