Janet must be the longest serving secretary of the WA in history


Beate, Jane and Janet (standing) ... Jane thinks Janet has set some kind of a record. We of St Mark's at most grateful for what you have done for us over an incredible 3 decades

Janet Drysdale resigned as secretary of the W A at our recent AGM.  She must surely be the longest serving secretary in the history of St Mark’s W A.  Every year she puts together an interesting and entertaining annual report which really inspires us to continue.  When our yearly activities are summarized so well it makes us all realize how much our small but committed group of ladies does.

Janet just gets on with things in her own quiet way and the smooth running of the W A over the years has been due largely to her commitment and dedication.  Thank you so much for your loyalty and efficiency, Janet.  We hope that you will enjoy being an ordinary member of the W A without all the added responsibility that you have carried over a considerable length of time. (Can it be more than 25 years?)

The fact that the secretarial side of things has run so smoothly is entirely thanks to Janet and the whole of the W A, past and present owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Enjoy your well earned rest and please use this time to gird up your loins for the next 25 year stint!!

Thanks also to Beate for running our accounts this year.  We haven’t even noticed the transition from Chris to you which explains your great organizational and financial skills. You have put in much effort and we are really lucky to have such an efficient treasurer – thank you very much.
