Presidents Report from Kristin Ballard

We held our Board meeting last week where several items were discussed and our rosters for the Relay for

Life and the Royal Canberra Show were planned.

Doug and I attended the presentation of Hilary Mackays beautiful artwork for the reflections room at theQueanbeyan Hospital at 11am last Friday all went very well except that the plaque had to be dummied upbecause of the short notice. The main artwork weighs some 200kgs which was framed in aluminium toenable it to be attached to the walls! Both artworks bring real beauty to the room. Make sure you visit theHospital just to see it.

I look forward to seeing you at our meeting tonight where Ann Pratt from Home in Queanbeyan willbe our speaker.
