Christmas has come and gone, and we - meaning the management committee, trainers and other volunteers - are now gearing up for the first of our four terms for 2010. Three of us were in the office today, and Judy Joyce has organised a working bee for the next two weeks. We will be busy organising course notes, additional publicity, cleaning the training room and reception area, installing new equipment and software, and doing our best to make sure the training room computers run smoothly!
As you can see from the photos, our Christmas party was great fun. If we don't want to hold the party at our place again, John and I will have to move! As you know, the only reason it was held at our place was because your secretary (moi!) mucked up the booking. But most of the credit for its success must go to our catering co-ordinator Marg Green and her band of willing helpers, as well as our members who whole heartedly supported us. It was good to see Yvonne's mother for the third time - she really must enjoy it - and a number of spouses.
Our classes start again on January 27 (mid week) and run through till April 1 - Easter Thursday. Once again there are a wide variety of courses to choose from. See Courses for the list.
Good one Margaret

And we did move. By February 2010 John and I had put the house at Winston Hills on the market, it sold quickly (although seemed painfully long at the time). And by April 12 2010 we had moved into a three bedroom unit at Constitution Hill Retirement Village. And it’s now been 11 years. A significant number of our ParraPals members or former members also live here.
