As a kid, remember that magical feeling on your birthday and Christmas — diving into presents wondering what was inside?
With a Minelab metal detector, kids can experience that feeling all year long. Imagine how excited they’ll be looking for buried treasure at the beach, park, or even their own backyard.
What are ILF Scholars Thinking?
The CEO of the ILF is often asked what our Scholars are thinking about various business related issues. To help me give accurate answers I propose to seek your thoughts through questions in the bulletin.
The June question was “Should our borders with other states :
- Be opened now?
- Be opened selectively with states where the risk of infection is as low as in SA?
- Remain closed until it the risk of infection is safe in all states?
Everyone who entered, answered No. 2.
The lucky winner of a bottle of Hugh Hamilton - The Drama Queen is David Evans, Spendless Shoes. (no pun intended David)
Quiz Competition - Win a bottle of wine
July's quiz was:
Predict the CPI change for the June Quarter to the nearest decimal place, measured by the All Groups Index for Australia (March 2020 quarter actual: +0.3%).
The winner to this question will be announced in the August bulletin.
In case you missed the quiz last time and you are interested in going for a quality bottle please answer the following questions-
Will the Crows win a game during July?
Will the Power remain at the top of the ladder at the end of July?
Please email Suzi@industryleaders.com.au with your prediction.
COMING EVENTS - Date to be determined
ILFSN Cocktail Function
Speaker - Robert Gerard AO (Gerard Industries Pty Ltd)
This event will be hosted by Morgan Stanley.
Further details will be provided soon.
Geoff Vogt's COVID-19 Adventures
At the meeting of the ILF Scholars committee I was asked to pen a short article about my life during COVID19.
The committee felt what I consider to be mundane would be of interest to Scholars. You will have to be the judge of that.
The “things” include:
• A COVID19 test at the RAH.
• Having lunch prepared fresh every day I was home by my wife, Lisa, who is an expert self-taught cook.
• The new stove.
• Watching Lisa act as delivery agent for our Sydney based daughter’s 1994 Honda Civic Hatchback which is listed on carsales.com.au.
• Listening to tales of life In Peru from the family of my wife, Lisa.
• Conducting for the first time board meetings for KeyInvest, Centennial Park, Brownhill Keswick Creek Stormwater Authority by Zoom and Teams.
• Remotely arranging building renovations around Australia for the Joint Military Police Unit rather than on site.
The COVID19 test was a bit slow on a cold winter morning because the clinic was waiting for a resupply of test kits. The waiting room was a tent with well- spaced plastic picnic chairs and no heating. The test itself was actually two tests, one down the throat and one up the nose. The nurse said it might bring a tear to the eye, but it would be quick. It was quick and felt rather like I had swallowed a fly that was crawling in my gullet.
