I am very pleased with the variety of plans and activities occurring acrossthe Club. We have a proposal to contribute to multi-project matching grant In Indonesian, a District Simplified Grant (DSG) application for theMonashSpecialSchool and a State Government Multicultural Grant application for the Multicultural Easter Event (MEE) in March 2012. The New Generations Committee is participating in a “We Lead” Expo at BrentwoodSecondaryCollege today.
Many thanks to Peter Dalwood and Bernie Edwards for the work they have put into the changes to our Club Bylaws. It is not a highly rewarding job and it is pleasing to see the Club’s acceptance ofthe changes.
