A Message from your President

October, 2023

 

Dear Members,

Having returned from Europe, Marti and I are slowly recovering from our jet lag, which seems to get
worse with every year we age. I guess it‟s the price we oldies pay for the fantastic mobility which air
travel offers. I‟d like to extend a thank you to all those who filled in various roles during the last few
months, as a number of Committee members were absent. Ours is a very good team, it‟s heartwarming
to see them pull together. Our club continues to thrive.

However, as I look into my crystal ball, I‟m becoming anxious.

I advised members in June that the positions of Treasurer, Speaker Seeker and Webmaster would be
needing new blood by March next year. Hats off to Glenda and John for doing a superb job in those
roles. But the best way to say thank you for their service is to volunteer to take on one of these
positions.

Our Committee is facing something of an aging crisis, and we should take sensible steps to get around
it. If you are in your 60s we need you on the Committee. I‟m asking you to consider becoming an
assistant now to the Treasurer, Speaker Seeker and Webmaster. We need to have people ready to move
into these vital roles come the end of the current terms. And experience as an assistant would give you
a chance to suck it and see.

So please give it some thought. Generational change is on the move: we need to be ahead of the curve.

Paul
