CHRISTMAS PARTY
PEACHTREE HOTEL PENRITH

Another year almost gone ---- another fabulous Christmas lunch with our wonderful Group. Thanks folks for joining in the fun, wearing glamorous festive wear, (Jo and Ray win this year), and special thanks to Jim and Cheryl for donating the door prizes.
The committee wishes you all a safe and joyous Christmas celebration, and a Happy New Year. Cheers 🥂🎄💜🌷. Viv, Terry, Robyn and Glenn.

Terry and Jan accepted an invitation from Local Federal Member Melissa McIntosh to attend a Christmas celebration this week, honoring local businesses and volunteers. Hundreds of local identities rubbed shoulders with our wonderful community award recipients, one of which is  teenager Emma Klimck, who received an award for her copious and unending work for Diabetes.  Well done Emma, you are a shining example to other youngsters of community awareness and generous spirit.

Thankyou Melissa McIntosh for hosting a breakfast for this group of powerful women. Members of the Shadow Cabinet joined Penrith community members this morning for an informal chat. Terry, Jan and myself enjoyed it immensely. Great pictures. Viv.

Terry missed our meeting today, because he was attending a community meeting on an invitation from local Federal Member Ms Melissa McIntosh and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton. As usual, Terry networked his way around the room and made some useful contacts for our Group.
Good work Terry.
