PRESIDENTS REPORT 2RD JULY 2024
Report for July 2024 Tom Roach.
Whilst , Helen , our President is away on holiday I am acting President and will chair the July general meeting.
At our recent committee meeting I raised the need for an annual budget to be prepared for the forthcoming year 2025/26 .. This would be done around November each year. The committee fully agreed and monthly income and expenditure can be monitored in relation to the proposed budget expectation.
This year we have seen increased costs, and we are the only club that does not charge for morning tea. Probus is taking 40 % of your current membership as their fee. Other Central Coast Probus clubs are now charging $ 65 annual fee and $ 4 for morning tea.
Each meeting our expenditure ( cost of morning tea and purchase of raffle prizes ) is far in excess of raffle income.
To address this shortfall, as an interim measure, the cost of raffle tickets will increase by one dollar to three dollars from the August meeting.

Vice President.

Random Thoughts:
The biggest lie I tell myself is…”I don’t need to write it down”
Wouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in a dryer for ten minutes and come out wrinkle-free and three times smaller!
I don’t trip over things I do gravity checks!

BBQ REPORT – Wendy McRobie
The next luncheon planned is the “Pranzo Italiano” on 20th August. I will need access to a kitchen for this event and plan to book the Tumbi Community Hall again. There will not be such extensive preparation for this lunch, s there was for the High Tea, and planning in my head is well under way. I would like those attending to add to the theme of the day by wearing red, white or green something Italian (Gondola dress). The menu as follows or similar: Small antipasto entrée, lasagna & salad ,tiramisu with beer & wine. $15 per person.
Attendees will need to bring dinner plate, knives, forks, spoons & wine glass.

SOCIAL REPORT …….Carolynne Roach
Devonshire tea at Riverside Café was very enjoyable and we enjoyed the gardens once sun came out. Two private booking were made there from our members. Christmas harbour cruise I can tell you about next month 48 members looking forward to it. I’m handing out forms for Christmas tables there will be a maximum of six, if you only have two, four, or six all good It will enable me to put in new members . I’m sure you all want to be welcoming to our new members and there are six more being inducted next month so I’ll do my best to make it welcoming to all. Hunter Valley bus for Christmas lights we need 25 to hire a coach if not I have access to a ten seater bus so let’s see how numbers go. This will be first week in January as they then turn lights off , Cost will be sorted when we know who is interested..
