Presidents Report from Natalie Jupe

Hello all,

A few quick reminders

1. If you have not already RSVPed to attend the joint meeting being held onTuesday 12 March, I am afraid you are too late sorry!

2. Since we are meeting on Tuesday 12th remember that we WILL NOT be

meeting at the Pub on Wednesday 13th March.

3. I have heard on the grapevine that accommodation is quickly booking out for

the International conference in Sydney in June 2014, so if you plan to go it is

best to book something soon.

4. Don forget that District Assembly is next month, and I encourage everyone to

make a weekend of it down the bay Andrew and I will be attending

The Jerrabomberra Fair is on again and the weatherman has promised a sunny day! Preparationsare well advanced for what is shaping up to be another great fair at the JerrabomberraCommunity Centre. The date is locked in for Saturday 23 March and many vendors and stalls havealready booked their sites. So what is on for offer to the local community?

As with past years, activities commence on the evening of Friday 22 March, with an invitation-onlycocktail party to open the Jerrabomberra Rotary and Bendigo Bank Art Show and unveil the workby many local artists. The art show will then be open to all comers on the day of the fair,Saturday, 23 March, and the artworks can be purchased at that time. Other activities occurring onthe Saturday include the usual great entertainment and fun that Jerrabomberra Rotary and theirsupporters provide at their Annual Autumn Fair. This year will see the customary assortment ofrides for the children, great local and interstate entertainers, the infamous fishing competition tofind that fish, an all-day BBQ, home bakes, vendors selling a variety of goods, and an enormouscollection of pre-loved books to buy and while away a Sunday afternoon.

So come along, enjoy the day with your family, neighbours and friends, wandering around thevarious stalls, entertaining the children, or buying art for that empty wall at home. Alternatively,

just sit by the water to munch a meal and watch the fun while being entertained. Better still, lieback and read a book purchased from one of the stalls.

The fair will run from 9am through to 2pm with a full program of events and activities. So whetheryou drop in for breakfast, morning tea or lunch, dont miss a great day to enjoy yourself and beinvolved with this community event.
