Presidents Message — A Year at the Shed

I am relaxing, (well, in between getting the scaffolding and erecting Mount Beauty’s street decorations for this season). Being president is sometimes very tiring and I wonder why I am. And then a project is completed and another good result comes our way. The camaraderie and openness between the members is becoming stronger and it augurs well for the future. By this interaction, the members’ health and well-being is kept at a level that offsets the onset of old age?

Innovation is the key word for most of our work. All active members bounce ideas between each other, thus establishing a first class finished product.

The culmination of the year’s endeavours was the Christmas Lunch. The members, and some of their ladies, worked very hard to achieve a first class sumptuous feast. Tables were decorated, food served and dispatched, and the hall cleaned and restored to normal. This was a long, satisfying day to end a satisfying year.

My thanks go to all persons that jumped in to help make the day fantastic, and special thanks to those wonderful persons in the kitchen. They certainly know how to turn out some wonderful dishes. And thank-you to the Neighbourhood Centre for the use of their facilities.

It is the co-operation and results of being a member of our shed that makes me feel wanted as a president. Thank you all.
