Annual Report and Presentation Night

Hi all.

On Tuesday 25 August 2015 the Annual Report and Presentation (ARAP) night was held.

Reports were delivered from the Group Leader, Scout Leaders, Cub Leaders, and Treasurer.


The following Parent Committee roles were filled for 2016:
  • President - Paul Ferrari
  • Treasurer - Georgia Massouridis
  • Quartermaster - Andrew Murray
Welcome to Georgia and Andrew in their new committee roles.

We currently have the position of Secretary vacant.  I will carry out these responsibilities pending confirmation of  a nomination to this role. Also anyone wishing to step up and help with fundraising,, we would value your services.

A big thanks to outgoing committee members over the past year for their contribution to the success of our Group:
  • Treasurer - Melinda Christophersen
  • Secretary - Oscar Menuel
  • Quartermaster - Rachel McMahon
  • Assistant Treasurer - Carmelina Gangemi
Finally, a few changes that I have foreshadowed for 2016 to help make parent's contributions to the committee easier and more accessible.  Subject to endorsement they include quarterly committee meetings & reporting, and the ability for parents to attend committee meetings via teleconference.

I propose to call a Parent's Committee meeting to put these changes up for Thursday 10 September 2015 from 7pm at the Scout Hall.

Until then, I welcome your thoughts on any of the above items, including any offers to fill vacant committee positions.

Regards

Paul Ferrari
