CARE REPORT
Connie Soh has had a fall at home and also has undergone knee surgery. She is coming along well and is now
home again. Alison Searle also has had another fall and we wish her well in her recovery.
Our thoughts are with Lyn Stobie following the death of her sister.
Joan 9807 9795 and Pat 9802 8914
Note At the committee meeting held on Tuesday 16 April, it was decided that we would permanently move our Annual General Meeting from August to November. The August date has been problematical for many years as it occurred
in the period when many of our committee members have been absent travelling, either up north, or overseas. Holding the AGM in November would be much more congenial for everyone.
So our AGM will be held on 19th November 2019 commencing at 8.00 pm. in the Mt. Waverley Community Centre,
Miller Crescent, Mt. Waverley. It will cover the confirmation of the minutes from the AGM held on 21 August 2018, receiving of reports – President, financial and convenors, any other business, and Election of Officers. The official
notice will accompany the next newsletter.

MEMBERSHIP REPORT
MEMBERSHIP
As at 30 June 2019 our membership was 292. Unfortunately we lost 3 members during the
previous 3 months – two retired, and one passed on.
NEW MEMBERS
A very warm welcome is extended to the six new members who have joined us, effective from 1 July 2019:
Russell Lucas, Jan and Philip Law, Rosemary Benjamin, Suzanne Palmer and Andrew Weatherhead.
New members can be identified by the red spot on their badges. Established members are asked to introduce
themselves to new members, and make them feel welcome.
MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS FOR 2019 – 2020
Thank you to the one hundred plus members who have already paid their renewal fees and whose emergency
contact details are now on our database.
It is essential that the balance of our membership renewal fees are received by the end of July together with your updated personal information on the renewal form, so that our coordinators can be advised of the current financial
membership of their group together with the new emergency contact details, as promptly as possible.
Some of the information required is to help LACVI provide data to our funding bodies, and when we apply for
Government and Council Grants.
Please ensure membership renewals are completed by 31 July 2019. Thank you for your assistance in this important area of administration of our Club.
If you have any membership queries please contact Sue Tewman on Ph: 9807 6723

Using Direct Transfer for Payments
The Treasurer and Membership Secretary request that all direct payments include in the description
section, your name and the purpose of the payment. For example "J SIMPSON MEMBERSHIP" or
“Armchair Travel”. If you pay over the counter, please ensure that the bank teller, or whoever is receiving
the payment, includes this description with the payment. This will make the jobs of the treasurer and
membership secretary a lot easier to identify the payees.
For all members who make transactions and already include the description with payment, thank you and keep
up the good work.

Male and Female LAC Members and
friends who might like to try this activity but do not have the
equipment, can hire a combination of both golf clubs and buggy or a
golf-buggy alone at a reasonable
cost. The flexible rules make Friday Social
Golf at Oakleigh a very pleasurable activity, and a pleasant round of 9
holes takes approximately 2 hours, after which the group returns to the
Pro-shop for a chat and all kinds of
refreshments. Don’t miss out. Golfing at Oakleigh
is a very jolly experience! There is plenty of room for more
players, so please come along.

each Friday? Tee off 7.00am,
( varies due ‘daylight saving’ etc.) Only a small number of players, 2 or

us for tea / coffee and biscuits, in the club house (we hire it each
week). Small prizes for weekly
winners. We play "stroke - stableford - Canadian pairs etc.". No
handicap? -- No worries; We will look after that, for FREE. You will be

Funday at the Casino On Monday 29th April, 54 members met in Mt. Waverley and were taken by coach to the door of the Melbourne
Casino. Eventually we were given a very nice lunch box and bottle of water, and allowed into the magnificent Palms auditorium.
Once seated, we were entertained by some excellent singers and a few dancers who were accompanied by recorded
music. Except for being too loud (well it was in the opinion of this scribe), the system allowed us to understand all the words, and the changes in the lighting kept us interested.
During the performance, prizes were awarded, and the first went to our Sam Chin! Later, one of our visitors Gwen Coleman also was lucky. This wonderful day cost us only $10 each, and we again thank Maureen Duggan for
organizing this wonderful outing. Ian Jackson.

Life Activities Management Program – LAMP Despite our initial concerns, at the committee meeting held on 16 July, the members decided to participate in LAMP.
This is a program that LACVi has implemented through revolutioniseSPORT to handle the data of clubs. We have been doing this ourselves using an Access Database and a financial program, but this system is meant to integrate
everything. Time will tell.
This will not affect ordinary members at all EXCEPT that those of you on email will receive a notification of a number
that is :- Your unique identifier within your organisation. Please retain this for your records.
MYKI EXCURSION – MAY
Our MYKI trip on 5th May, Jan Delaney, took 14 of us to the All Nations Park in Northcote. This old quarry has been converted into a fun park, and we climbed to the top of the mound constructed from innumerable huge bluestone
boulders to enjoy the wonderful all-around view. At the entrance, there was an ANZAC memorial mentioning several local people who died during the war.
After lunch in the nearby Northcote Shopping Plaza, we walked back along High St. to the beautiful old town hall,
enjoying looking at the old buildings on the other side of the road, and into the many varied shop windows.
