Allambie Auxiliary Meeting 25 August

The latest meeting of the Allambie Auxiliary was held on 25 August.  A first draft of the minutes was quickly emailed 9 days later to a number of Sunnyfield Board Directors and then on the following day to all member's email addresses held by the Auxiliary secretaries.

The DRAFT minutes are here.

An email querying the accuracy of the minutes and requesting correction and reissue was sent to both the President and the Secretary who drafted the minutes. That email is here.  I believe the minutes are incorrect and misleading.

Heather Milnes has also written asking for the minutes to be altered. That email is here.

If you wish to query please email the person involved or better still 'phone. Alternatively feel free to post a comment on this blog - click the COMMENT button below.

One member has suggested that it might be wise to convene a meeting of the Auxiliary so that the matter may be discussed in an open collaborative and constructive manner.  I welcome the chance for this to happen.
