GUEST SPEAKER DINNERS:
Last Friday evening, Robina and Brenton Smith, Sue and Rob Hurrell, Barbara Burns, and Geoff Brewster entertained us at the February Guest Speaker Dinner with an in-depth view of New Caledonia and Vanuatu from the Cruisers’ perspective. Most of the audience would have left feeling somewhat envious, and we give our thanks to the speakers.
