It’s a date!
Hello Everyone,
The date has been set for the reunion to allow people time to plan holidays and book flights from interstate and the far north of Queensland. The big day is Saturday 26th June
John Olive and I went to visit the Sunnybank Bowls Club today and we are booked there from 5pm to Midnight on the above date. I do not have full details as to cost as I am yet to phone the caterer to organise food. Drinks will be at your own expense and the bowls club will provide bar staff. Just mark your calendars and organise those flights. John will put together accommodation options close to the bowls club for those who do not live locally.
I did not know I was going to book this when I sent the newsletter yesterday but it became obvious that a definite date was necessary.
Look forward to seeing you all!
Regards
Donna D

Donna, it’s me! I found you or you found me. I was on a recent trip to Qld to visit my mother who turned 80 on the 17th Nov and she told me someone by the name of Donna was trying to reach me. I would love to come to the reunion. There are so many names on your blog that I recognise and remember. I wonder if they remember me. Doug Aird I had a crush on since grade 1 and I could tell you stories about a whole lot more but first you have to let me know if I have reached you. Please write to my e-mail address and I look forward to hearing from you. Nicole Lecompte.
I have been married twice, have 2 lovely girls from my first marriage. After high school I began my own dancing schools and taught little girls ballet, jazz, tap and acrobatics for a year. After that I left home and started my career in acting performing at the La Boite theatre in Brisbane where I played the lead role in ‘Treadmill’ and directed ‘Toad of Toad Hall’ in community theatre with Russell Dykstra playing the part of Rat. Just before my 20th birthday I auditioned for the Victorian College of Arts in Melbourne and was accepted. I moved to Melbourne and this is where I have stayed for the last 30 years. I met my first husband at the first house I lived in and we were together for 15 years while I studied, performed, got married and raised a family. My girls are now 29 and 27 years old and I am 54 on the 31st December this year. Write back soon.
I am at present married to a lovely Italian man named Sam (Salvatore), I live in a peaceful country town called Yarragon in West Gippsland and I work for the local Government Shire of Baw Baw as a Home Care Worker.
My girls live in the nearby country town of Warragul, both have their own houses, the youngest (paramedic) is married, also to an Italian, and the eldest has a partner who is also a partner in her business of Graphic Design and Photography. We are all well, happy and have good relations.
