SRA Newslettter & SRA Meetings
Hi all,
I hope you are all well following lockdown and the Covid-19 Crisis affecting many of us in our homes and work situations?
Please do let me or any of our SRA Committee know if you have any particular concerns during this difficult year.
SRA July Newsletter:
Please find enclosed our 28th Issue, SRA newsletter for July 2020 - which has been delivered by at least 10 local residents. Please let me know if you haven't received your newsletter or feel like you should have received one already?
Many Thanks to our regular & casual volunteers who always help to deliver them & make our SRA Newsletter easier and more fun to have delivered to approx 2600 local letterboxes and businesses.
Thanks to the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and CCC staff who have consistently printed and folded 26 of our issues and Krystal Henderson (c/- Ray White Barrington) who has kindly printed in colour & folded 2 of our 28 issues. Post Covid-19 lockdown - our SRA Newsletter has been even more important to help connect some of our vulnerable residents who may be without social media options. Our newsletters appear to be very well received by so many residents & business owners - it is one of the most important useful ways we can communicate with all our community.
This month's newsletter focuses on post lockdown and hopefully may be useful for some vulnerable residents who were living by themselves throughout this difficult year.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
