We have had 1 December set aside for our end of year party for quite a while. David has booked Fourno’s at 6:30 pm. This will be the North Ryde World Peace and Harmony Christmas Party. Wear an item of clothing, hat or flag that identifies your country of origin, your adopted country, country of residence or any country you like. Invite friends and let’s have some fun. Even dual citizens can attend. Fourno’s is a pizza, pasta restaurant and reasonably priced. 56 Delhi Road North Ryde. David has sent out more details and will ask you via email if you can come. I do hope you can all attend. Partners, children, friends, relies – all are welcome.
On 8 December not only will we have our AGM but Ana will also give us her presentation about her year in Australia. Josh will also be along to officially receive his blazer.
We are also trying to arrange to meet Anna’s parents. They will be in Sydney for Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 January. I’ll let you know what we can organise.
Here is a summary of the next few weeks: President’s meeting 25 November, Party 1 December, AGM 8 December, BBQ at Cox’s Rd and the distribution of the Tree of Joy gifts on 16 December and finally the Carols on 17 December. Then a few week’s off before our new year breakfast at Caffe Incontro at Cox’s Mall on 19 January 2018.
See you at the party.
