What a great time of fun and learning we had on 1st December!
We welcomed 4 guests! They looked like they enjoyed themselves, even in the Table Topics session! Great to meet them. Come again!

One of our members received her completion certificate for Level 1 of Dynamic Leadership. Congratulations, again!
Three meeting awards were issued: Best Speaker, Best Evaluator and Best Table Topics Speaker. Congratulations to those three, as well.
Come along (for free entry - and free exit! - :-P ) and experience the fun of gaining confidence in speaking and leadership in a "safe learning environment where there is a supportive and positive group of people looking to help you learn and to learn themselves"!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

-
15% ... It is complicated
