DATES TO REMEMBER

**31 March, 1 and 2 April 2023 – our BIG BOOK FAIR

ADVANCE CARE PLANNING

Unfortunately I have to report that the Advance Care Planning talk advertised in the last newsletter has been postponed – to a date to be advertised. The ACT Health Team who provide the service are having staffing problems and have suggested that we contact them in a month or two to set another date. Polly has been making an effort to notify everyone who had signed up to attend the 9^th March session.

BIG Book Fair

With only four weeks to go we are very busy with preparations.

Please do your bit and hand out some flyers or bookmarks and share the information with friends on Facebook or Instagram.

Friday 17 March will be the last day when donations can be accepted so please hurry up if you have items to donate!!. Otherwise we will be very happy to receive them in late April.

Volunteers will be needed especially for setting up on Thursday 30 March from 12 noon and packing up on Sunday 2 April from 4 pm to 6 pm. Sign up sheets will be available at the office next week. Any assistance you can give will be most appreciated and will contribute to the success of what is our major fundraising effort for the year.

ANYONE FOR SCRABBLE? OR TABLE TENNIS?

Some Club members are proposing to start a group to play Carpet Bowls and/or Scrabble (or Cards even).

Proposed Time: Monday 12 to 2pm

Location: Hall 2

A start date will be announced as soon as a few people express an interest in participating.

If you might be interested in either or both activities, please leave your details with Polly.

THANKS TO OUR MAINTENANCE SUB-COMMITTEE…

…. for some quick work to track down and quell two recent infestations of European Wasps. For a brief time it seemed as though Hall 2 was the centre for the E Wasp population in Canberra – happily all despatched now.
