Next Monday (27/7) will be our Free Morning Tea for Term 3, at Club Lambton starting at 10:00 am, with 86 presently registered to attend. Registering is important as we need to know numbers for catering purposes.

Our guest speaker for the day will be Scott Holding (from Scott Holding Driving School), talking to us about seniors renewing their licences and updating us on road rule changes. Scott has spoken to our members and guests on a previous occasion and was well received with good information and help.

Our Treasurer will be in attendance (in the back corner) and available to take money from you for new and renewed Computerpals memberships ($25) and enrolment in assistance classes on Monday afternoons from 12:30 pm ($5 for 1½ hours of one-on-one assistance on a topic of your choice). 

There will be no assistance class in the afternoon on 27/7 as this will be a Committee Meeting.
