GREATCONNECTIONS EVENTS
'Welcome Lunches' - for new volunteers and representatives of newly registered Not for Profits. If you haven't been to one and would like to.......let us know. Lunches are held bi monthly in boardrooms around town. They are a great opportunity to hear about the work of Greatconnections and network with like minded people.
Greatconnections National Volunteer Week Oration: Wednesday 16 May 2012. Save the date!! Check out the March edition of Great News for more details.
A GREAT READ
What every person over 50 wants to know What every person under 50 needs to know.
A colleague recently lent my a copy of Francis Macnab's 'The 30 Vital Years'. I was suprised that the book was published in 1992. It seems to be taking a long time for our community to ackowledge and value the contribution older Australians are making during those 30 'Vital Years'. Check it out
Warmest Regards, Suzanne Teese
