What's On This Month NEWSLETTER 16 November 2011
Please hold on to this newsletter as it is the last one until February
Good morning ladies and gentleman, welcome to our 60s up Movement.  A very warm welcome to any visitors and new members.  It’s good to see you all here today. Kathy Salmon will be playing the harp for us today.
On 20th October,  27 members went to Operatunity’s 10th Anniversary Show at Baradene College in Remuera.  It was a wonderful show thoroughly enjoyed by all. Another very successful trip this month was out to an Alpaca farm in South Auckland followed by lunch at the Papakura RSA and a walk round the lovely Botanic Gardens at Manurewa. Driving through the countryside it was obvious summer is definitely on the way.  What lovely animals the alpacas are and their owner gave us a very informative talk.  The fleece is wonderfully soft and non-allergenic. Our Christmas lunch is on December 14 at Titirangi RSA. Remember to purchase your ticket today.
For those who are going on the Norfolk Island trip at the end of this month, I’m sure you will enjoy it as much as I did last year.  I wish you all a safe journey.
Sadly we recently lost a member - June Hamilton. Frank and Mary Townley, Sylvia McMinn and Dora attended her funeral.  June had been a member for 8 years. May she rest in peace.
Subscriptions for 2012 are due in February and can be paid at the next meeting.
Please do not forget our trading table. There are always good purchases to be made.
Seasons greetings to you all and best wishes for the coming year.
Sid Ball, President
