President's Message
Monday November 24 is fast approaching. What is the significance of the day? It is the Ladies Gala Day and we are going back to the 70s.
The number of hires is increasing as Christmas fast approaches. For them to be successful the club requires volunteers so please assist where possible.
The mystery of the disappearing mugs. A large number of tea/coffee mugs have disappeared from the kitchen leaving us short on days when 3 teams are at home. If anyone knows their whereabouts, I would appreciate you letting one of the committee members or Ken Mason know.

Club Hires - Volunteers Urgently Needed!
The club has a number of hires coming up in Nov/Dec which require the assistance of 3-5 people each to help set up and provide assistance throughout the afternoon or evening. If you are available to help out for a couple of hours, please contact Pat on 0449 018 849. The days we require assistance on are as follows.
Friday Night Happy Hour and Dinner
This Friday we are conducting Music Bingo at our gathering, which should be lots of fun. Georgia Kolberg is our music master — costs $5 per game with prizes to be won. Make sure you come early for Happy Hour, at 5.30pm, followed by our meals served between 6pm and 8pm.
Reminder — get your name on the list in the clubrooms if you would like a meal or alternatively, give Pip a ring and she will add your name. Don't forget to invite your neighbors, family and friends to join us. Meals are bistro-style, pay when you order at the counter on the night. Although we prefer to know how many are coming, walk-ins will be accommodated. Take-away meals are also available.
- Visit our Fun Feast Fridays at Kensi Club page for the menu.
Happy Hour
Happy Hour is on at the club again this Friday at 5.30pm.
