40th Birthday Celebrations
Tuesday March 4th
The Diamond Valley Oxfam CAA celebrates its 40th Birthday on Tuesday March 4th at Montsalvat, 7pm. Admission will be $20 which includes wine and supper. Our two speakers will be David Scott, first national president of CAA and Rod Quantock, well known Melbourne comedian who will add a light touch to the evening.
Members who have been in the group some time, may be able to add names to the mailing list. Also do members think we should provide some musical entertainment for the night and if so, what genre ?
We will also be calling for volunteers to help with transporting local elderly former members should they require it. Any other suggestions will be welcome.

A Night in Bangladesh
Presented by:
Beth Pender
Beth Pender and Cathie Roby have both recently returned from Bangladesh on separate trips. Cathie went with a group of social work students from RMIT, and Beth with the Oxfam CAA Community Leadership Program.
Both have interesting and informative tales to tell and we think you'll find it a very interesting evening.
