It has been raised by members that they would like to be more fully informed as to Board activities, so I thought that I would devote one President’s Notes per month to letting you all know what the members of the Board have been up to.
At the last meeting, the Board made decisions about the following:
- It was decided to continue offering financial support to the CSU Foundation
- It was decided that we should donate $300 as support to the upcoming Sidney Nolan exhibition at MAMA. This will help enable free entry as a way to make the exhibition more accessible
- It was agreed that the Club will support Happy Family Day, to be held 8 December in the Botanic Gardens. This event is designed to help victims of domestic violence and we will be doing a BBQ
- Around 70-80% of members made a donation to Foundation by paying extra for half yearly subs. This is a very pleasing result
- The Board accepted the quote of $7,238 for a new BBQ trailer
- In relation to Kitenden, Howard reported the following; “Deborah and I will be meeting with Future Warriors in Brisbane on the 15th and 16th of November. The objective is to plan the next few years for the Pre School and possible establishment of an English language Primary School located at the same site. We also will be receiving an update on the equipment provided to the Medical Clinic and the Chicken project progress”
