15^th Annual general meeting at WCC

We are very pleased to be able to tell you that Term 1, 2009 has started the year as a resounding success.  The programme in this newsletter suggests that Term 2 will follow this successful trend.  The varied and interesting events include visits to Ben Juniper’s studio and to JandakotAirport, SocialBridge, Mark Woodcock Cooking, and a return to WASO and Morning Melodies.

We would like to thank Mr. Ron Norris, Mayor of Mosman Park, who presented a fascinating and informative 'virtual reality' presentation on the new Combined Library Development at our recent very successful AGM. Our thanks go also to Helen and Joe Reinhold who worked as a team at the AGM in the kitchen looking after the drinks, catering and cleaning up.  They did a terrific job.

The Committee received notices of retirement from Dianne Hunter and Judi Willoughby during 2008; we also received retirement notices effective from the AGM from Gillian Meecham and Margaret Walker.Their contribution to the Centre over the years has been invaluable and appreciated and we thank them.We know that all members will wish them well for the future.

On behalf of the Committee and all members I would like to make special mention of Gillian Meecham, who has organised our Enrolment Days for some time, and to thank our Administration Officer, Nicky Macdougall, and Treasurer, Glen Telford Jackson, for their dedication and guidance. We all appreciate their contribution to the smooth functioning of WCC.

I am retiring as Chairman of WCC and I wish to thank Committee Members and members for their support and friendship. It has been very rewarding to experience the enjoyment that activities and events on the Programmes give to members.

My very best wishes to all for the future. Erica Price
