President’s Message

Last Friday evening approximately thirty three of members, partners and guests enjoyed a good evening of food and wine at La Maison in support of our club project of fundraising for the Baby and Parent Unit at Wodonga Hospital. The food was as usual really a delight to consume and Wendy Killeen matched the wines perfectly to the food as well as giving a short précis of the complexion of the wine in question. If it wasn’t for the fact of ‘drink driving’ and I was sitting next to Beth Skirton was also in attendance as a guest then I would have certainly had more than half a glass of Rutherglen Topaque ! What is so great about Wendy is that though her business commitments are really heavy with much inter -state travel, she always tries to do things for the advantage of our Club despite not always being able to come to actual Wednesday meetings. A strong vote of thanks must go to Vicki Gray and Gordon Shaw regarding all the arranging in making the evening a success. Whilst we await final figures, it is estimated that we made approximately $1000 toward the Baby and Parent Unit at Wodonga Hospital, and we have another fundraiser to come in the guise of a Trivial Pursuit Evening at Thurgoona on Valentines Day next year.
