COMMIITEE1985/86 .
About this time of the year Club members should be thinking about whether they can serve on the Cornrnittee. Often the response is that one has not obt the time. Actually the time devoted to running off and committee meetings is very little. We only have 4 meetings a year. You don't need to be a long standing member to serve. It is always good to have new faces on the committee .
ANNUAL RETREAT
ThIs was attended by 19 people. Our thanks go to the Sisters who made us most welcorne and Father Lucas who gave some very good talks .
Your prayers are ruested for a past member Margaret Britt ai n who died
recently ,
