It is hard to believe that our first AGM is upon us. Save the date, 26 August, 2012 12noon. We will meet on site at Neil McDougall Park, Como. Bring a picnic lunch. The Caretaker Committee was formed in February this year to set up the governance, begin the fundraising, form alliances with community partners and kick start the construction of the garden. Well, we have done that and more. Now some of our Committee members are ready for new challenges. Some will nominate for different positions and some may be content to be members. We commend everyones efforts and will be sad to see anyone leave this founding committee. It is a time of flux but change brings opportunity.
There is energy and a great desire to build this community garden and see it thrive. We are after new people to join the team and help us grow. The most difficult work is done and we are at the most exciting part. There are good times to be had by all!! When people pull together amazing things happen. It may seem odd but I am going to refer you to a video passed on by a community member. A demonstration of collaborative thinking http://youtu.be/YhvfOlPYifY?t=17s Enjoy!
If you are ready to join the team, nominations need to be in by Friday, 19th August. Come along to the meeting anyway, and speak with us. Nominations can be taken on the day for unfilled positions, only. If you want to talk to current committee members just email me and arrangements can be made.
If you are not yet a member. No problem. Membership and nomination forms can be downloaded from this website(documents page) requested by email ([email protected]) , or you may complete forms at the AGM.
Here is your chance to get involved in a positive and rewarding way with your community.
