Champagne Thursday Foundation is teaming up again with Rotary Laverton Point Cook for its annual Fashions on the Lake event at Sanctuary Lakes Function Centre & Lakeview Restaurant, 70 Greg Norman Drive, Point Cook on Saturday 31st August starting at 7pm. Proceeds from the function will go to Fight Cancer Foundation.
The fashions on the runway this year will be provided by Kerrie from Gracie’s and award winning milliner Michelle Robinson.
Early bird tickets are $65 each. Entry includes a delicious 2-course dinner plus champagne at the table.
Last years event sold out quickly, so grab your friends and grab a table. There will be loads of prizes, raffles and a few special giveaways throughout the night.
Footy Tipping - Jason Daddy was the only person who picked North Melbourne to beat Richmond. A brave selection but tempered with a little bias. 10 tipsters selected 7 out of 9 winners. Graham Roper is still out in front with 67 points followed by Mary Maguire (66) and Marty Vaina, Ann Smith and Ian Hovey (64). Watch out Tiger!
Good to see our old friend Lorry Rowe at the last meeting.
The next Bunnings BBQ will be on Thursday 20th June. Geoff Smith would love to have your participation. Let him know if you can assist.

The Bulletin Editor got caught off-guard at the last meeting and was captured on camera by Wendy Roper who threatened serious physical harm if the picture wasn't published. So, in the interest of avoiding a thrashing from Wendy and to pad out the Bulletin with trivia on a slow news week, here it is.
