March 2014

The ACC AGM was held on the 5th of March.

We welcome Andrew Robertson to the position of president.
Andrew has been a board member and treasurer for a number of years.

A special thank you to Charlie Brisson, our outgoing president, for his 30+ years of dedication to ACC, 25 of which he held the position of president. Charlie will remain as a board member and will continue to work with the incoming president to ensure a smooth transition.

The position of Treasurer is still vacant. Andrew will be contacting potential candidates to discuss the possibility of taking on this position.

A special meeting will be held on the 26th of March at 8.00pm to make some amendments to our constitution. RSVP to info@accau.org

Subscription reminders have been sent out over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to Sue Hancock for volunteering her time to do the mailout and thank you to Paul Brennan for his help in creating our new database to enable us to prepare the labels and letters. Your assistance in processing your subscription fee by return would be greatly appreciated.

Subscription forms can also be downloaded from our website.
