The meeting proceeded with the reading of the minutes of the January meeting.

This contained the financial report followed by the general business.

Our social secretary read out the anniversaries and the birthdays for the month, and the lucky birthday girl for the month was Joan Eppelstun, so a big congratulations to Joan.

At the Christmas dinner we had a collection to go to a local Charity and the Grenfell Hospital Auxiliary was chosen for this.

The Grenfell Hospital Auxiliary is a very worthy cause, this group of dedicated volunteers work hard raising much needed funds for hospital equipment such as wheelchairs and special needs equipment through street stalls, raffles and other fundraising activities.

General business was then concluded so we had a relaxing morning tea.

Following morning tea Sally introduced us to the special speaker who was Glenda Fisher, daughter of Graham and Diana.

Glenda's position is with Justice Health, and their job is to monitor the health and condition of the jails in NSW, including the new building at Wellington.

The presentation on the screen gave us a better idea of the jails and how they are managed.Glenda was thanked presented with a gift. 

The meeting was then closed.
