VP Brenda reminded the Club that as hers was the first of the

Presenta"ons it was meant to be introductory only so that

other Presidents could expand fully on the projects undertak-

en in their year. In addi"on, she strongly recommended that

the Club ought to consider revisi"ng some of the projects

undertaken to ensure that they are being adequately main-

tained.

Below are pictures taken at the Fellowship Mee"ng as the

Club reflected on the presenta"on.
