Mid Month Happenings and Important Reminders

Of course the business of Sunshine Linus continues between each monthly meeting with many of the members involved in the distribution of items to various organisations and a range of administration activities to keep Sunshine Linus operational.

Susan was able to deliver a selection of beautiful pyjamas sets and shorts to the Redlands Community Centre. A big thankyou to the ladies who made these items.

Sunshine Linus Inc. now has its own business card. Be sure to collect some of these for distribution next meeting.

Jenny sent out an email reminding everyone that we filled everything from last month’s wish list, but have some ongoing wish list requests and a few new wish lists which you can now find over under the Wish List tab on the Blog. She has asked that if you have liaised with an organisation in the past to provide them with wish list items, consider contacting them this month to check if they have any new wish lists.

ELECTION OF COMMITTEE

At the next meeting you will be asked to nominate for committee positions in 2019. All positions will be vacant so everyone is encouraged to consider taking on a position. You can find the role descriptions under the pages tab on the right hand side of the Blog and the nomination forms here: 
Nomination Form 2019-2020

SETTING UP GROUPS

1. As you come in there will be information on the LINUS noticeboard regarding where items can be dropped and groups you might like to join.

2. There will be areas set up with one of the Linus committee team allocated to explain the process.  These areas will be Quilts; Sensory; Aged Care (incorporating knitted and crochet items); Hospital; Community; Baby; Special Orders

3. Please select a group/s which you would like to join. You do not have to commit to one specific group.

4. At 9:30 Susan will ask you to join a group if you have not already done so and the facilitator will explain how we hope this process will work.

STORAGE

There had been some discussion regarding moving the storage into cupboards located on the stage area. After much discussion with Leonie and Bonnie, we have decided to keep the storage in the current location and purchase garden trolleys to help with movement of items. Our aim of course is to reduce items in storage over 2019. These trolleys will also be placed at the entrance to the hall and you are encouraged you to use them to move your goods from your car to hall and visa versa .

2019 MEMBERSHIP FEES

The 2019 membership fees (and forms) are due by March. Only financial members can vote at the AGM. 2019 fees are $10. Many of you have already renewed your membership but we will be accepting forms and payment next meeting as well.

OPEN DAY

August is rushing back to meet us. Kaye will want to meet with the Open Day Group at the next meeting. Please start thinking about and making items for the sales table.
