inspirational and well attended Zone 8 Membership, PR & Marketing
seminar. To explain what a zone is for our new members, our Club is
part of a District and our District is one of 23 in Zone 8, which is

International. ...

Last Week's
Meeting
What a fantastic meeting … we had it all!
Lots of fabulous guests; a potential nominee for the GSE Team to
Spain; free (well, almost!) flights to Bali; members with worms;
lots of Excessive Enjoyment Levies (or EELs for short); even a
Prospective EEL (or PEEL); delicious food; attendance taken by
lamplight and to top it off a stunning guest speaker … none less
than the 2009 Young Victorian of the Year. ...
