Idea Generation Night

Warren facilitated an evening of fellowship and fun while we played musical chairs and brainstormed ideas.

Working to a deadline and sharing positive thoughts – a great formula for good fellowship.

Thanks to Warren, Tony, David and Kris for organising and convening the sharing sessions and looking forward to reading the results!

Doh! An Idea...a famous idea...

The very famous Mary Poppins song "A Spoonful of Sugar" was actually inspired by the polio vaccine.

Songwriter Robert Sherman was having a hard time coming up with a catchy song for Julie Andrews hit movie. Inspiration struck him one night when his children told him all about their polio vaccine they received at school. They said it didn’t hurt because the polio vaccine was placed on a sugar cube.
