Hi all, It's probably worth contacting both CPA and CA australia to see if they could hook us up with a volunteer suitably skilled to do the job - I take it we don't really have any idea how much money might come in from joining the fundraising drive, but 20K for the year is probably a good target anyways, so it would be nice to have someone on board who can happily do the job :-)
Let me know if you'd like me to make a call or two (or indeed if such calls have already been made!) - I would hope there's someone out there who would be willing to help out? (it's another good way to get another member too, of course! ;-) Further - re : Sarah's and your note about financial members etc. (I know, I'm one of the tardy ones!) - could we confirm how many financial members we have for this AGM? - just for the curious! :-) cheers, Peter, PM.
