Presidents Report from Kristin Ballard

Well what a full on weekend with the Relay for Life but so successful on so many fronts. The rain tried to

mess up setup on Friday night but still got done, Saturday went so well with only a little rain and our finishon Sunday was wonderful. Our egg & bac on rolls for Sunday bfast at 6am (!! !) went very well 109 rollssold! So all sold out. So thanks all round to all those who contributed so much to this weekend Natalie,

Andrew, Ron, Glenys, Joan, Amy, Bly, Don, Tim, Dian, Bill and me. Natalie and I will be attending the aftermeeting on Wednesday night so any suggestions good and bad - would be welcomed.

This coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the Royal Canberra Show where we will be working withCanberra East at their food stall - enjoy.

We held a meeting at breakfast (Sunday) and decided that with the full commitment to the Relay for Lifeweekend and the Royal Canberra Show that we would cancel our meeting this Wednesday 22 February we will have Amy Macdonald to speak to us later.

The Queanbeyan Age dated 17 February had an article on Hilary Mackays beautiful artwork, and on theRelay for Life.

Very pleased to see that the weather was fine for Geoff and Ebonys marriage and after a few days inhospital that Nerida was able to attend hope you all had a fantastic day.

Joke of the Week

Holdup man: "Stick 'em up or else."

Victim: "Or else what?"

Holdup man: "Don't confuse me - this is my first job."

Red Cross is looking for committed volunteers who are interested inmentoring newly arrived young migrants and introducing them to

The Pal-Ups program matches a trained volunteer with a teenagemigrant, refugee or asylum seeker. The mentor and participant pair meetevery fortnight, spending time doing fun activities as a way of getting toknow each other, breaking down some of the cultural barriers typicallyfaced by migrants as they settle into a new life.

The qualities we look for in mentors include an open mind and awillingness to meet new people, have fun and treat others with dignityand respect. We'd especially love to hear from male volunteers, as themajority of our participants are boys in need of a great male role model.
