What about the talk in the Hills, NSW?
The Hills Group
May 2015 Marlene Murrows, LO
My report for this year so far: The Hills Group is going very well with 19 members. Our focus this year is the Conference and trying to make it another memorable event.
Our members are very generous and lovely people who volunteer their homes for our 2 nd Thursday of the month meetings.
The February meeting was devoted to the Conference, with each of us airing ideas and possible venues, speakers, etc.
Our speaker at the March meeting was Rosie Langley who supports the Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia. She told an interesting story of her fund-raising for the Hamlin charity and a recent visit to Ethiopia, so we got a first-hand account of the hospital. It was quite an amazing talk.
The April meeting was‘ Research an historical figure’. We each, by chance, chose quite different characters, ranging from Catherine the Great, through to Mary Reibey( ex-convict) and Sir Paul Edmund deStrezlecki( explorer) of Strezlecki Track fame.
We very much enjoy these meetings as we all have our chance to speak and learn, and it’ s all presented in a pleasant, relaxed way.
