A new committee . . .
At the 2008 AGM a new committee for the ensuing year was elected. Jill Jeffrey and Anna Satharasinghe retired from the committee and we would like to thank them for their valuable contribution in recent years. We have new committee members which is always exciting and brings new energies and ideas to an organisation such as ours. We welcome Karen Gray and Ling Halbert who attended training in the first semester 2008 and Judith Monaghan who brings much valued secretarial support.. Virginia Field, Ruth McLean and Marie Edwards will continue as president, vice president and treasurer. The committee has met already and 2009 activities have been scheduled. There will be a mix of workshops and site visits continuing our practice from recent years. All are welcome and these events will be advertised closer to their scheduled dates. Already a workshop is planned for Randwick in Seniors Week in March and a second has been requested. It is important that any more expressions of interest are lodged soon. We trust that the website will be more active in 2009. You will be advised when new maintenance arrangements are in place. We are aware of problems in this area and apologies for any inconvenience or delay in communication as a consequence. Be assured that our web-based communications will improve in coming months.

Membership fees: At the last regular Committee meeting a fee increase for membership was recommended to be implemented. The new fee structure will take effect with the next cycle of annual membership which is due in March 2009. The new membership fees will be as follows: Individual member: Pensioner / student member: $25.00 pa $10.00 (Inc. of $5.00) (No Change)
Organisation/Corporate Member: $50.00 (Inc. $15.00) The Committee is hopeful that this new structure is not prohibitive and that the income will assist the Society. NB: Any new memberships accepted prior to March 2009 will be valid until March 2010.
This group is from the Australian Nursing Home Foundation (ANHF) with teacher, Ruth McLean at the Telopea Centre following their workshop in November 2008. Like ANHF you can contact the Telopea Centre to arrange for a custom-designed workshop to suit your organisation!
