Our office will be closed from the 21st December 2018
and re-opening on the 21st January 2019.
Thankyou to those members (and you know who you are) that freely volunteer your time as committee members at the State levels in organising State events and activities - it is very much appreciated.
The focus, passion, drive and support from these local members is very much appreciated. These members put in the long hours and in some cases days in assisting with events and tending to the development needs of our local members whilst working their secular roles. We could not have done it without you.
As we enter into the Christmas season, once again, we ask all members to keep an eye on moderation and safety. We would like to extend warm festive season well wishes to you and yours.
May we all enjoy the holiday festive season with our loved ones, and return refreshed, fit and healthy ready for the new year; looking forward to sharing and enjoying further conversation and announcements in the new year.
Merry Christmas from the National Office team,
Karyn, Sue and our intern Leo
