Understanding Differences Regular Updates

Update 1  Update 2  Update 3  Update 4  Update 5  Update 6  Update 7  Update 8

This is our 7th Update. The purpose is to keep you informed of our activities AS SO MANY HAVE PUT MONEY IN OUR COLLECTION BOXES IN CRAWLEY. This time it covers just over a year. It’s been an odd year to say the least; lots has happened as far as progress goes but, likewise… there’s been some negative things too.
We have also produced a Financial Summary and Overview from October 2003 through to September 2006-hence the delay with the UPDATE. Everything now comes to you in its posh new format & Logo, which is another excuse for it all taking so long! We hope that nothing is left out so that between the 2 it covers all! If you would like to see a copy then take a look at the new web-site as there is a link to it on there.

CARAVAN HOLIDAYS:http://www.freewebs.com/donnanevill/ HIGHEST PRICE IS £440 AND THAT’S FOR THE SUMMER HOLS! Last year Donna hoped to get bookings and make 10% donations to either UD, Heartline, LHM or Echo. It was a bit of a let down so this year Donna has donated a week and weekend stay as a prize that raised £216.00 for us. (less the passes) Please contact Donna for availability and prices or look at the website: 07832245014

We had a meeting scheduled for Saturday 12th August, but was unfortunately cancelled

Since then we found it necessary to hold an urgent internet meeting. This was held on 11th December 2006 where PT, a long standing member and voice has also been nominated onto the committee as a Co-Secretary. Her role is to help with making up a Quorum of 5 so that we can always make majority decisions about everything that we do but, to be a supportive role within our communications with outside organizations etc that we aim to link with. Sadly there still appears to be much confusion about what it is we are attempting to achieve even thought our new defined Objects are very clear and self explanatory. So welcome to PT

Future Meetings…. Our constitution states that we should hold 3 meetings a year, so we hope to be able to arrange these where more of the membership are able to come along and  voice their comments, however, we are working on better Internet communication and hopefully any other issues that arise can be successfully discussed online. We have discussed how internet meetings are more viable for each of the committee members as they are widespread with times that they are available as well as where we live now.

Our Meetings:

At 16th Feb 2007 we have an account balance of £3,055.89
 

It goes without saying that we are very grateful to all who made

this possible... the fund-raisers, those who donate or attend our events who all make it possible. We do however,  still owe £14.79. to each Little Hearts Matter,  Heartline Association  and Echo. Much more is owed to Donna as she continues to pay for the things needed and be reimbursed afterwards. This could be as much as about £500 but we still have an impressive amount left.
