August 2025 newsletter

 

Newsletters are delivered to members each month with messages from our President Joy and lots of interesting information about the club's activities.  Many thanks always to Angela.

This month our Newsletter Editor, Angela, is enjoying the warmer weather in the north on a well earned holiday and has sent us an email detailing all activities and information.  Angela advises she will be back to prepare the usual September newsletter.

  • President Joy reports:  "I am very pleased to report that we now have our new website and thanks to member Trish for her hard work in achieving this.  I hope you all have a chance to browse the site before the next meeting.  Any further ideas or suggestions are always welcome.  It is always good to see the many knitted goods that our ladies are making for our chosen charity organisations at this time of the year.  We know that they are very much appreciated from the thank you letters we receive. Well done ladies".
  • Thanks to Elaine for all her great work in co-ordinating our contributions to community groups and charities.
  • We are delighted our tapestry has been donated to the Rye Historial Society where it can be viewed.  See their website at www.ryehistoricalsociety.au  Thanks again to Katherine for following the tapestry from Bendigo Bank to Sorrento Historical Society and then to its new home!

  • Members are encouraged to collect and save plastic bread ties, used tablet foils and hearing aid batteries which can all be re-used.  Please bring to meetings.
  • A reminder the Southern Peninsula Support Group still requires donations of non-perishable foods (packets or cans).  These can be brought to meetings and deposited in the boxes provided.
  • Our speaker at the August meeting is Kaye Chaloner, an author, who will give us advice on writing memoirs and publishing.  Our thanks go to Tina for always arranging our interesting speakers.
  • The woman behind the badge will be Rikki Main and we look forward to hearing her story.
  • Thanks too to Gerie for keeping in touch with members with health problems to ensure they are doing well.  
  • Reports on special interest groups and upcoming events and club activities - see our Activities page or email info@ryeladiesprobus.com.
