Hi All
Many thanks to all of you who attended Monday's Pand C meeting, we
had a great turn out and I'm sorry I couldn't be there.
I understand that the Pand C Federation sent someone along to attend
the meeting. As Shanti has rightly pointed out, we are not quite running
the Pand C with the correct protocols and David Hope, Regional Pand C Rep,
advised me last week that we indeed do need to have "financial" memberships
in operation, voting systems in place properly, etc., etc. He sent Sharryn
along to give advice on how we run our meetings. He didn't get chance to
forewarn me but I'm sure that Sharryn's presence at the meeting was intended to
be helpful. I am going to suggest that David Hope meet with our new
Committee to continue to advise on our processes.
Thank you to Howard for stepping in and chairing what I know was a
very long meeting, but I think we had some very positive outcomes. Thank you to
Shanti for inviting Mark Kearns along, I hear it was very useful to have him
there. I will try to get a group together to set up the School Watch
program as soon as we can, so we can work with the school and community to
effectively trial this - I believe it as a PandC led program. Please let me
know asap if you are able to help with this.
So the AGM will be held on Monday the 8th April. All positions
will be up for re-election, so if you are on the Committee and would like to
stay please put yourself up for re-election (and let me know now via email).
Other positions will definitely be up for nominations. So far I
have one for President and one for Vice President. I am sorry to report
that Michelle Theunissen will not be standing again as Treasurer.
Michelle has worked very hard at this role for the last three years and I
want to take this opportunity to thank her for all her efforts and analysis of
our funding over that time. Great job! Hard shoes to fill, but if anyone out
there would like to take on the Treasurer position please let me know, I'm sure
Michelle would be more than happy to talk you through what the role
entails.
If you are interested in any of these roles please contact me and I
will give you some more information.
Thanks to all, especially for your understanding over my distraction
and lack of time over the last few weeks.
The minutes of Monday's meeting will be available soon, I assume
Caroline has a lot of notes to plough through, so your patience would be
appreciated.
Cheers
Damian
Great idea we are looking at school watch - I'd be very invested and will email you separately.
