Helpline AGM 2010 Report:
There's nothing scandalous to report this year except that out Hon. Treasurer
turned 90. Isobel Bowen continues working on the finances and
it just goes to show that age has no bearing on our activities, many thanks
once again, Isobel. A huge thank you also to Valerie Rymarenko for her excellent service in delivering equipment
at short notice, without Valerie's help we would not have a
Helpline. A few items have been acquired and purchased during
the year to replace those items which were past their use-by date. Brenda
Ross keeps us in Talking Books and dvds, many more
were acquired at the last Christmas Fair, and thank you Brenda for your help in
sending these out to those in need.
