September Meeting Reminder - AGM & Presentation 11/9/12

A reminder that our Monthly Meeting is on tomorrow night 11^th September. We are having a presentation about the history of the MTAS and a lucky door prize of a ticket on the next FOHacRG bus trip down to Canberra on 13^th Oct to see Sydney Nolan Exhib and Floriad will be awarded from those who attend.

It is also our Annual General Meeting and all positions for committee will be declared vacant. The committee has had a few members drop this last few months due to personal reasons so we now find that there are some positions that we really do need a new person to step up and give us a hand so that we can keep the Art Society going. Such positions as Publicity Officer and Assistant Secretary are especially needing to be filled.

We won’t have an Art Society without the help of all our members, so please consider volunteering your time so that it’s not all left up to a few. Not all positions need to attend committee meetings and even if you can’t commit a lot of time there is always ways that you can help in the smaller positions such as Field Day Organiser or some of the assistant roles.

We are also reviewing the positions that we have on offer. This AGM we need to fill the following positions (new positions are in Italics):

President

Vice President 1

Vice President 2

Secretary

Assistant Secretary

Treasurer

Assistant Treasurer

Publicity Officer

Functions Officer (organises the demonstrators for meetings and workshops)

Field Day Organiser

* Exhibition Manager

* Exhibition Equipment Manager

Newsletter Editor

Children’s Art Co-Ordinator

Meetings Supper Organiser

* Catering Supper Exhibitions

* Functions RSA

Public Officer

* CASS Representative

* Librarian

* Open Day Organiser 1

* Open Day Organiser 2

* Open Day Organiser 3

(*These positions are not needed at all committee meetings)

As you can see there is quite a lot to be done to keep the Society running… so we look forward to seeing you there tomorrow night to offer your support & view our lovely presentation of MTAS over the last 50 years. The meeting will start at 7.30pm at the Deerubbin Center, George St, Windsor, as usual, with supper supplied. There is no entry Fee this month for our AGM.

Please contact Narelle for any questions about positions or the meeting 02 4565 9222.
