Last Meeting
Janice Swan - Sort Out Service - Guest Speaker 
Janice learned the hard way, from experience.  After living in different countries and moving homes several times, including once just after  her husband had been killed in a motorcycle accident just ten days after they had moved into a new home Janice knew the problems and difficulties of moving, particularly for people in a vulnerable situation.  She used her experience to help friends and others informally for seven years and then decided to do it professionally and started her own company, Sort Out Service.

Community & Member Activity
Enliven Garden in Memory of Richard Housten
The garden project undertaken  by our club at The Enliven Retirement Village Dementia Unit on behalf of a generous grant by Mary Housten in  memory of her late husband Richard who was a  member of our club is now complete.  Three colourful Totem poles and a sign which says Richards' Garden are now in place.  I have been told by several people that the garden is really very much enjoyed by residents, staff and visitors.
A big thank you to all of the people who helped with this very successful project.
