School holidays are over, children back to school, and the wet weather appears. Not long now until Labour Weekend when you can all relax.
It was a busy weekend for me. The Volunteer Expo for Orakei was on at the netball courts in Stonefields. St Johns Ellerslie featured a stall which gathered very good interest with the ERK's boxes. Thank you to Muriel, John and Rashida for assisting.
Our meeting on Thursday morning will be bright and cheerful - please come along wearing something colorful and LOUD - just so we can all have some fun - there may also be a prize for the best dressed!!
Keep following our Bulletin to keep you up to date with future activities within the Club.
Time: 7.00 am Speaker: Nigel Sallis – Hearing Institute
Nigel will speak to us about hearing loss, tinnitus and new management strategies to help deal with these issues.
If you have trouble hearing others in a crowded restaurant, suffer from marital deafness, or your favourite phrase is “Can you please repeat that?”, then this talk is for you!
Loud Shirt Day: Supporting Kids with Hearing Difficulties

We had a great turnout on Thursday, with 15 members and more joining us for a relaxed and enjoyable breakfast at The Huddle.

Willard – Christmas Puddings
Willard has 5,500 Christmas puddings to sell and is calling on all members to get behind the campaign. It’s time to sell, sell, sell! Please contact Willard with your orders and arrange delivery.
Peter B. – Apirana Avenue Reserve & Science Forum
Peter brought along a sample of the new nameplates that will be installed beside the plants at Apriana Avenue Reserve. They look very smart, and the Men’s Shed is involved in making them.
Peter also updated us on the Science Forum candidates and explained how they are selected. He proudly shared that he had donated plasma, telling us how easy the process was. And, of course, he enjoyed the chocolate biscuits at the end!
