This week: July 7, 2009 - Club Assembly

This week will be Adam's first official meeting as club president so he is planning to outline his vision for the coming year, including some major projects. This will be an excellent time for all members to voice their opinions and suggestions for the coming year. For this exercise to be successful, we need a large attendance of members.

I'm also thinking that Danielle Ballinger, our GSE team member, will be visiting us on July 7. With the Club Assembly we won't have time to get a full account of her GSE experience in Italy, but I'm sure she'll be keen to chat; I'm sure sitting next to Danielle for dinner will be a prized seat!

In the coming weeks

On July 14, our guest speaker will be somebody from Conservatorium of Music. And then, hopefully we'll all get to hear from Danielle and see some photos at the July 21 meeting. More details on these in next week’s Bulletin.
