I thought I would let everyone know I am still alive – I have been a bit quiet lately catching up on some rest and time out with my gorgeous family. The last 18 months has been very hectic for many of us, and I would like to thank each and everyone of you (and your families) for your tireless efforts, you guys are amazing (How good was that awareness day and Kokoda trek)
I apologise for the short notice, but we were hoping to schedule a committee meeting for Tuesday 18th November as we have our Strategic Planning conference the following weekend – Friday 21 – 22 November. It would be fantastic to get ideas and input from you all as founding members of PUTP. This is chance for you to have your say about what you would like to see in the Strategic plan and to help us finalise our mission statement, values etc, (and to also discuss what has worked over the past year and what has not) We also need to establish the dates for the many events PUTP has planned for next year - Please come along and bring anyone you think would like to be involved. We would like to see as many people attend as possible.
Items to be discussed at the meeting
The strategic plan: The conference has been organised and will be held at the Rydges Eagle Hawk: We have sourced experienced members from other organisations, as well as our own, so we can utilise their skills and come up with the best possible Strategic plan for PUTP, and raising awareness of PTSD. This will certainly aid with the campaign and also further funding in the future. It was a difficult decision deciding who should attend.
The Harvey Norman BBQ fund raising event – 23rd November: PUTP has another fundraising BBQ scheduled for Sunday the 23rd November at Harvey Norman Fyshwick - we need helpers urgently - With Christmas looming I would expect we will be fairly busy. Last event we sold everything by 2:00pm – Many thanks to those of you who help at our BBQs, It’s a huge cash injection for PUTP. Thank you kindly
Christmas get together
This is the 1st Christmas PUTP will have as an established organisation - It would be fantastic to have a Christmas get together to celebrate the achievements of the year and to introduce our newest members- Hopefully on Tuesday night we can organise a time and date -its a great opportunity to relax, bring our families along and generally have a good time. Wind the campaign down for the year, There are many people I would like to personally thank.
Thank you all once again for your support and help, we are already making a difference.
See you on Tuesday 18th November 7: 30, we would love to see you there – the Vietnam Veterans Federation buildings at 3 Burkitt Street Page.
Could you please notify me if you will be attending.
