From the President: May 2024
Welcome to the May edition of the OGA Blog.
Finally, we are feeling a bit of a change in the seasons! I’m hoping this rain reaches our farmers to help with a very dry start to this year’s seeding program.
As the weather cools down, what better way to spend an evening than at the movies? The annual OGA Movie Night is back! We would love you to join us on Thursday 30 May, for a screening of The Way, My Way, the charming and captivating true story of an Australian man’s transformative experience walking the Camino de Santiago. All friends and family are welcome. You will find more information in the blog, or you can buy tickets here.
Wishing you all a wonderful month ahead.
Gemma Varone (2009) | President
