President
Philip's
Message
After hearing how
fantastic last Tuesday evening’s tour of the Crown’s kitchen
facilities was, I am really disappointed I missed it! A number of
members have spoken enthusiastically about the spectacular food and
wines and by all accounts, it was a night to remember.

 DG Colin Muir's Weekly Message
in
Networker
(Issue 16, 12 October 2009)
October
is
Vocational Service Month
"Disaster Relief and Recovery in
D9800"
The recent devastating typhoons and floods in the
Philippines, earthquakes in Indonesia and tsunami in Samoa and
have stretched relief agencies resources to the maximum. Once
again the ShelterBox team was one of the first to respond with
over $2.6 Million worth of emergency shelter despatched to the
affected areas. We thank all those involved, it has been another
great effort. ...
