Raising Dust AGM - 17th October 2pm at Seppelt Great Western |
|
The third Raising Dust AGM is coming up soon! Forget the boring “sitting around a table” style meeting. No, no no! In true Raising Dust style, our AGM will be a wine, beer and cheese tasting at Seppelt, Great Western with the formalities thrown in there somewhere!
It will be a great event with plenty of opportunities to catch up with friends you’ve already met through RDi and meet new people but it’s also a really important day for setting the future direction of our group. We’re always looking for new people to join our committees so if you’re interested, email us or give Kel a call on 0439 722 985 for more details.
Everyone is welcome to come along to the AGM and we
look forward to seeing plenty of new faces there. Whether you’re interested in joining the committee or just want to hear about what we’ve been up to and what we’ve got planned for the next 12 months, come along and enjoy a relaxed Saturday arvo with great wine and cheese and most importantly, great company! |
