Dear Members, thank you to everyone who attended the February Lunch your attendance was very much appreciated especially since it was a very disappointing turn out attendance wise with only 80 people being served lunch, I’m not sure if there was a problem with Members receiving the newsletter too late to remind everyone or if there was some other reason, that is the lowest number we have had at one of our lunches in 5 years. Thank you to all the cooks, helpers and band your hard work is very much appreciated. As no notes were taken at the February Lunch concerning the Lucky Number winners or the winner of the Members Draw, we are unable to detail the names this month. On to other news the Anniversary Dance as detailed on the cover is being held on Saturday 25th March at the RAAFA Estate Bull Creek, and tickets are now available, we would love to see as many people as we can so please come and join us for a great night. April 9th 2017 is the AGM where all but the President, Secretary and Treasurer are up for re-election, our AGM is the avenue for Members to express their opinions and if any concerns about the state of the AEAWA. The attendance sheet for members attending the AGM will be posted at the March lunch so please indicate your attendance by adding your name to the list for catering purposes also if you think you would like to join the Management Committee nomination forms are included with this newsletter. We have received several nominations for the Andrew Clark Award and the Ida da Silva Award this year and the Selection Committee will be meeting soon to assess the applications and the winning recipients will be presented with their Awards at the AGM. Congratulations also to Claire Fernandez a former AEAWA Scholarship winner she will be attending UWA to study for her Bachelor of Science. Inside on page 8 you will find a flyer from Endemol Shine (a television production company) concerning an upcoming reality television show concerning families and cooking, if you are interested or need more information please use the website address detailed on the flyer. Also posted at the March Lunch will be an Expression of Interest sheet for the July Lunch to be a MEMBERS ONLY Christmas in July Lunch, this will be a ticketed event with the tickets being a discounted price of $7.00 per person.
