Opotiki Club's 41st Birthday Dinner
Eight Whakatane members enjoyed fun and fellowship attending Opotiki’s 41st Birthday Dinner. Lois Watson and Jill Theobald who are Co -Presidents cut the cake which Jill made. Thank you Jill. Ina Murphy Whakatane won the awesome raffle.
A lovely evening. Thank you Opotiki
Poppy's Cafe
It was fitting to have our monthly dinner meeting changed to a casual lunch at Poppy’s Café as eight members were attending Opotiki’s dinner the next evening. Right – Marian Pedersen and President Annette Steele.

I acknowledge lots of you have travelled to countries with extremely low/high temperatures and have stories to tell.
Some good frosts lately for some of us and clear skies for stargazing. Melva P
