As you will be aware Karen Jackel, continues her 3+ year fight with ovarian cancer, and with traditional treatment options exhausted apart from a reprive from the impacts of chemo-theropy her health has been declining in the weeks leading up to Christmas. The executive committee and a number of other members gathered at Steve & Karen's home on 9th December for light refreshements and to catch up with Karen and her family, where we were delighted to see her in such good spirits. A number of members have also caught up with Karen and Steve prior and since this gathering, which I know they have really appreciated. Thank you to everyone that has emailed, spoken to, visited or provided best wishes for me to convey to the Jackel family in recent times. Regards Glen
