Fellow Alumni Members
It seems a long time since our successful Alumni function in
November last year. What an enjoyable
evening it was! At that event and at
previous Board meetings we discussed organising some activities to bring past
and present colleagues together more often.
To kick this off we are arranging a couple of visits to the
Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.
New Exhibitions and
lunch
There are a number of current exhibitions including:
·
Behind the Lines – The year’s best political
cartoons from 2014
·
Menzies – by John Howard.
The Museum also offers a 45 minute tour of the
Building. Some of you could run this
tour! Full details are available on the
website www.maodoph.gov.au.
We would follow this with lunch either at the OPH Café or
other local café.
Date: Saturday 30 May
Time: 10 am
RSVP: by 16 May
