Newsletter No. 6 - February 2017
President's Report
The first members’ meeting will be on 22nd February. At that meeting we will attend to a couple of minor modifications to the By-Laws. Notices will be emailed to all members well before the meeting. The March meeting will also be the Annual General Meeting as required by Probus South Pacific. At that meeting, the Club is also required to elect a new Committee to take the Club through the 2017-18 year.
Please remember also that we are always looking for ways to improve the Club. If you have any ideas on ways we could develop, or ideas for something new, please feel free to talk to any of the Management Committee or contact me direct.
We can all look forward to an exciting year for this great Club of ours. See you at the February meeting.
