Announcements

Liebherr - Betty

Want to do 4 lunches a month the 2nd Friday of Each Month. - This was approved at a club level. We are going to run with it until the end of the year and then reassess.

We can confidently cut back the number of volunteers per event, as we all know what we are doing. However, people might need to do four in a quarter.
