Member update
Well, we seem to be getting the hang of the coffee mornings, which is just as well since Jacqueline will be away for a few more weeks! Thanks to everyone for being so patient, & especially to Chris and Sarah who have been helping out with the Tues morning coffees. We've also had lots of new members the past few weeks - welcome!! We'll organise member cards for you as soon as possible. We had a fantastic coffee morning this week at Sharanis Spa in Khalifa-A...pampering, coffee and cake - what more can a girl want!? See below under Business in Focus for more details and for some extra special offers exclusive to our group. And don't forget to join us next week to help raise funds for Tanya's adoption process (see left) - there will be a raffle with fantastic prizes! :) Marcia
