Member Services Sub-committee vacancies
I chair this sub-committee of the ACTVAC, and we are looking for three to five more members. Our sub-committee's main areas of activity are
1) Marketing & Promotion. Position filled. Next main task is the stall at Belconnen Community Festival (if it is still practical to go ahead with this).
2) Website & IT. Position filled. Next main task is to liaise with IT subcommittee and club members re website content.
3) New member focus. Position vacant. Next main task is an overdue overhaul of the New Starters kit.
4) Existing services. Position vacant. Next main task is to organise membership cards.
5) Vetrunner representative. This has been advertised for a year and now that Jim has finally resigned, is vacant. The urgent task is to get a team together to produce Vetrunner.
Do we have any volunteers? Please contact me if you are available to help out. The period of time could be short-term, for the life of a particular task, or long-term.
Year of the Crow:
Yes we won over Freo, 10-16 to 7-4, Finals games are more exciting to watch, since the standard and intensity has risen one more notch – or two notches in the case of the Crows! The last quarter 5-4 to nil. Freo might struggle against Melbourne next week.
More deaths
With the Steve Irwin tragedy this week, Peter Brock as well, you may have missed another news item, the death of Colin Thiele, author of Storm Boy. see http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200609/s1736764.htm. He was one of my heroes, a South Australian from Eudunda.
