AUSOM's major raffle 2007
Drawn December 1st, 2007
Winner — AUSOM member Ruth Shapcott
To President, Dick Johnson , and my fellow members,
It was with great delight and amazement answering the phone on Saturday and learning that I had won the Ausom raffle. I’m the lady who sits alongside the lucky door recipient, who buys the adjoining ticket for the side of beef, the beautiful plant or that holiday for 2 in exotic places. What wondrous elation at being “ THE WINNER”.
Twenty four hours later, I realise that I now have a few problems. Will I go ADSL, or cable or even wireless? Do I update my ancient mobile and go Blackberry to complement this amazing MAC? Do I even give up my trusty and well travelled 35mm camera and go for a SLR digital? What problems!!!. My loving daughter’s retort,(after listening to my lament this morning), “ Mother leave the fossil age, venture into new areas and teat it as a brain exercise. “ Yes, I will , once again using the friendly expertise and help from the volunteers of our AUSOM Club when required.
My immense thanks and gratitude to the Club, my sincere best wishes for all its future endeavours in its new home in Prahran.
May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy healthy, and exciting year 2008. Alongside our constant and faithful companions, our Apple Mac.
Regards, Ruth Shapcott.
