Tonight we saw journeys begin and journeys end.

We enjoyed Jeanette's inspiring and well-structured Icebreaker, "3 Things That Have Made Me Who I am". It's always exciting to hear from new members for the first time.

Norbert recently completed his "Visionary Communication" Pathway and took us through the 500 days of 10 projects - in all of 12 minutes!

Finally, it was time to say goodbye to Matthew and Debs, who are both returning to live in the UK. You've both made great contributions to the club and we'll miss you - look forward to having a drink with you on Friday :)

Would you like someone you can trust to look after your home so not to leave it empty? Walk your dog/s ? Feed your cat/s ? Water your plant/s ? Bring in your mail ? I am looking for a house to sit while I am in transition. I can provide you with excellent house sitting/ pet sitting references. I am also a professional domestic cleaner, with the option of cleaning and even deep cleaning your home so it could be an even more pleasant to return home to. Imagine that after a holiday away.

The best situation is one where we can help each other :)

I am available for long term or short term , ASAP.. Thank you.
