Our Birthday Cake - we turned 2

On Wednesday 15th June 2011 we enjoyed fine food and wine at the well positioned  BOATSHED by the bridge Restaurant (new owner Tracey Hain).

We were enthralled by our enthusiastic speaker - Michelle Miran who provided a very interesting talk - Challenges and Opportunities.....One Woman's journey.

Michelle was a finalist for the Telstra Business Woman of the Year award in 2000, missing out to Gai Waterhouse.

Our Guest Speaker - Michelle Miran

In her words she likes to "work, be productive and make a contribution to her community".....it was Aunty Mame who said "life is a banquet and some poor sucker out there is starving" This is Michelle's moto - life is for living and I don't wan't to die and say what if.......

Thankyou Michelle for giving of your time to share your life with us...x
