We had no speaker at this week's meeting. It was mostly a quick catch up to see how everyone was coping with the current lockdown affecting Caroline Springs and with our work life balance. We welcomed the following guests: Peter Schultheiss (former member retired) and Mukand El Kaushik. Kathy who chaired the meeting did the rounds asking everyone how they were and gave a rundown of the Westside Cluster meeting that she attended last week and how DG Dale Hoy will schedule a time to join in one of our meetings.
Mukand introduced himself and spoke about how he came to be in Caroline Springs and his time in the Caroline Springs Senior's group. We spoke about Sandra Dunbar and if she had made it back to Melbourne. Peter told us about his round Australia bike ride adventure and how his bike had broken down after a 1000km. His motorbike is still stuck Interstate and yet to be loaded onto a truck to come back here and how he come home on a Lear jet back to Melbourne. It is currently in the safe hands or a Yamaha dealer waiting for Peter's instruction. Peter also mentioned how touched based with Donald Williams, a friend of Ronald, who has a similar motorbike interest.
Ronald mentioned about the STEPtember "Move together for Cerebral Palsy" fund raising and asked if anyone wanted to sign up. Pauline had already signed up. More to follow.
Kathy spoke about the Community Garden Project that CS Community Garden has been raising awareness for residents and asked those member that could to join in Thursdays night's meeting. She also mentioned looking for clubs here and around the world and for us to do a common zoom together. On a lighter note she mentioned that Vicky Rogers made scones that she had ordered and bought for the volunteers at WERN, lucky WERN volunteer, but what a good way to show appreciation for all the hard work they did. Any one in Caroline Springs can order on the Suga & Spice Facebook page. Kathy will liaise with Pauline on who our next speaker will be.
