Meeting
Sixty-two Retired Police Officers Association members attended
their monthly meeting in Fenwick Hall in early March. RPOA president, Les
Morris, welcomed not only the members but also retired police officer, Ken
Taylor, from Fife, Scotland, and Brenton Sullivan from the Riverland.
Talented glassblower, Kath Thurmer, provided entertainment.
She not only made some beautiful pieces, but also informed members on the
history of glassblowing. The number of members who surrounded her table after
her demonstration indicated just what a great success the entertainment had
been.
Trips
RPOA vice-president, Lex Teague, had his faith restored when
vacancies for the March 18 bus trip were filled.
