Help needed
At our AGM on 5th April two of our office holders will be stepping down from their positions:
Rob Pieters will no longer be our visual and sound technician although he will continue in his position of Treasurer.
The technical person will need to set up the data projector, if needed, at each meeting, and also the sound system. This is done much easier now that the equipment is all stored in a cupboard in the storeroom right next to our meeting room. Rob will be at most meetings especially at the beginning to aid and assist the person who is prepared to do this important job.
Jan Tedesco will be stepping down as Secretary – this job really needs someone who is computer literate as we contact and communicate with all our speakers by email. The Secretary also posts a notice on Neighbourly each week, organises the Term Programmes to be printed by the Christchurch City Council, sends our Programme to the CWEA and the Bishopdale Community Trust, and of course, takes Minutes at our Committee Meetings and deals with any inwards and outwards communications.
As you can appreciate both these positions are pivotal in the running of our weekly meetings. (Our meetings are held on Friday mornings at Chapel Street Hall, Harewood.) Without them being filled, we won’t be able to carry on.
If you are able and willing to do either of these positions or know of someone who could be, please message me as soon as possible.
Thank you.
