President’s Message;
Ladies: We have had a few busy months, with a great Race Day and Fashion Parade. My thanks go to all those involved in
the running of these most enjoyable (and profitable) Zonta events. We are entering a very busy time of year in our business /
private lives with Seasonal celebrations filling our calendars. Zonta is no exception in this regard with the Christmas Party
being held at the home of Sue and Len Smith on Saturday 26 th November (at 3 Worthington Street) at
pm. Husbands,
partners, guests are welcome, but we must have numbers on Tuesday night.
Our thanks go to Sue and Len for the use of their home for what promises to be a fun night. Music is being provided by
White Lightning Disco.

The Basket of Gifts for Hibiscus Gardens is well under way and will be delivered this month. All gifts will have a
Christmas theme and will be suitable for Hoy and Bingo prizes.
Unsure if we are going to have a December Newsletter, and thus take the opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Guest speaker for November is Rob Bloss from the Fire Brigade. Do you have an “Escape Plan” for your home in the
event of fire? I bet he will discuss this. Just a note of interest here – our Turkey Beach Rural Brigade recently
responded to an escaped camp fire at Sandy Creek which had destroyed the camper’s car and campervan, and when
stopped was about to engulf their camp site. Started quite a grass fire, which was quickly extinguished. Despite the
rain in various areas, we have barely had an inch, so everything is tinder dry.
We are discussing dates with Cassie Moran for her to speak to us next year.

Notes from the Editor Helen:
FOR EVERYONE WHO SENDS E-MAILS, PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!
I HOPE THIS HELPS
Do you really know how to forward e-mails? 50% of us do; 50% do
NOT. Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate
it? Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over
from the people who got the message before you, namely their email addresses. As the messages get forwarded along, the list of
addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some
poor sap to get a virus, and his (her) computer can send that virus
to every e-mail address that has come across his computer. Or,
someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk
mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and he will
make five cents for each hit. That's right, all of that inconvenience
over a nickel! How do you stop it? Well, there are two easy steps:
1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the
other addresses that appear in the body of the
message. That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and
delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know
how to do. It only takes a second. You MUST click the "Forward"
button first, then you will have full editing capabilities against the
body and headers of the message.
If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be
able to edit the message at all.
2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one
person, do NOT use the To: or Cc: columns for adding e-mail
address. Always use the BCC: (blind carbon copy) column for listing
the e-mail addresses. This is the way that people you send to only
see their own e-mail address. If you don't see your BCC: option
click on where it says To: and your address list will appear.
Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's that easy.
When you send to BCC: in
this manner, your message will
automatically say "Undisclosed Recipients" in the "TO:"
field of the people who receive it.
So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and
the viruses!
