On behalf of all the Trefoil members I would like to convey a big welcome to the new State Executive Officer, (SEO), Linda Latham, who commenced her position on 1 June, 2008

 

Also a big welcome back to Joan Burch who had a spell in hospital, but has returned home and on the road to a speedy recovery.

 

State Picnic

Rain, hail or shine at Tara, Saturday 12 July. Bring a picnic lunch, hat, sunscreen and a chair.

It is now urgent that we know if you are to be collected at Penrith Station about 9.30 am. We need to know numbers for catering for the morning tea please. This is now urgent.

 

18^th National Gathering

I have been asked by a few members regarding the scarf to be worn at the National Gathering in WA. It is a National Gathering and the scarf is to be of your choice, as both are acceptable. Only on two occasions of the Opening and the Gala Dinner it is requested that dress be worn. The rest of the time the State shirts are to be worn.

 

The State colours are:

N.S.W.                                   Blue

Queensland                           Maroon

South Australia                     Yellow

Tasmania                              Jade

Victoria                                 Pink

Western Australia                Red     

 

Region Boundaries

I have checked with Guide House and the spreadsheets, which I have received giving the following information:  (I hope I have done this correctly, if I have the wrong Guild in the wrong place please advise me.)

I stress the point Trefoil Guilds are within the Region of NSW and ACT.

 

ACT and South East Region Alpine T G Belconnen T G Brindabella T G   Central West Region Western Plains T G Calare T G Bathurst T G Warrumbungles T G Nyngan T G   Coastal Valleys Region Brisbane Water T G Singleton T G Newcastle T G Windale T G Awabakal T G   Cumberland Plains Region Bunbury T G Cowpastures T G   Sydney Southern Rivers Region Bareena T G Bexley T G George Bass T G Murray Farm T G Shortland T G Tharawal T G Mitchell T G   Twin Rivers Region Albury T G Griffith T G Wagga Wagga T G   NSW Central (Lones)

Greater Rivers Region Upper Blue T G Bluegum T G Nepean Valley T G Eastern Creek T G Greater Parramatta T G Hawkesbury T G Macquarie Parramatta T G   Northern Sydney Region Mosman T G Kur-ingai T G Barra Brui T G Northbridge-Castlecrag T G Wakehurst T G Warringah T G Hornsby-Waitara T G Berowra T G The Hills T G The Hills (Evening) T G North Epping T G West Epping T G Pennant Hills T G   North Pacific Coast Region Coffs Harbour T G Oxley T G Richmond River T G Great Lakes T G Manning River T G   South Coast and Highlands Region Woonona T G Shoalhaven T G Saddle Back T G Bowral T G

  

In the past we have had  Liaison Officers, i.e. one person to liaise with the Region Leader. I am sure it would be easier for the new Region Leader to liaise with one person only.  Perhaps names can be put forward to me and you can be ready when needed.

 

Trefoil Guilds are happy to help Guiding where necessary, but first lets allow the new Region Leaders time to settle into their new roles.

 

Mexican Fiesta

General News

 

Congratulations to Woonona T G who celebrated their 30^th Birthday.  The Leaders organised the celebration and invited everyone on Sunday 15^th   June, to the Guide Hall. Although the weather was quite cold and windy it did not stop a good attendance for the afternoon tea,  with  cake, with trefoil decorated on top.  It was an excellent opportunity to meet the Woonona members and the new leaders headed by Wendy Momsen.  Bravo!

 

Another celebration was a member of Bareena T G, Marjorie Wilson who celebrated her 90^th birthday luncheon at the Grandview Bowling Club. The guild arranged the luncheon and Marjorie had a wonderful and happy day with all in attendance.

A tenth birthday cake was the highlight at the Alpine T G ‘s luncheon at Davistown, where everyone was in strong voice and had a great trip by train and ferry to the venue.  A happy day was spent with members.

 

Bowral T G’s Annual Luncheon was a happy day too, held in the Guide Hall with a hearty menu. The Guest Speaker, Natalie Traynor, spoke on Audiology this was very interesting.

 

When Sending Mail

 

Recently I have been receiving mail from the Mail Redistribution Centre from Australia Post.  The reason:

Mail is being sent to members’ incorrect addresses with NO return address on the back of the envelope. The mail has been opened by Australia Post and if it is a Newsletter with my contact details it is then returned to me and I look up the correct address and forward it on with maybe a phone call as well. Please add YOUR sender’s details on the back of the mail. Many thanks.

 

 

A safe and happy month to all our members.
