PRA urgently needs volunteers
PARKVIEW – Residents and rate payers are invited to Parkview's big meeting which will include a 'meet-and-greet' session as well as new volunteers being elected.
Chairman of Parkview Residents‘ Association Marian Hester writes:
Dear Parkview residents and ratepayers, we are trying a new format annual general meeting (AGM) again this year – wanting a more informal ‘meet-and-greet’ kind of gathering with the minimum of formalities. We propose spending 30 to 40 minutes on discussing the items for approval, formally noting the contents of the report back document, the audited financials and then voting to approve two decisions that you will have read about in the document. If possible, please email us any questions you have about the content of this report-back document, so that we can address them appropriately at the AGM? If important questions are raised in the meeting which are necessary to address there, we have allowed time for that.
After the official business of the meeting, we’d like everyone present to mingle and chat; we’ll ask you all to wear a name badge with your name and your street name, to help get some conversations going. The Parkview Residents’ Association (PRA) committee members have all agreed to wear an additional humorous badge to add some fun to the proceedings.
Thank you all for your contributions this past year, by way of help in person, financial donations and donations in kind, participation in projects and discussion on the social media channels.
I would particularly like to thank very warmly and sincerely all the people who have served the community on our various committees, and those residents who have responded to our requests for more help. Collectively, we have achieved a lot this year in Parkview’s interests and you will hopefully also have seen that in the newsletters throughout the year. A special thank you goes to councillor Bridget Steer – we are told by residents in other wards that we are very, very fortunate to have Steer supporting and guiding our efforts and working so hard on our behalf.
Theresa Gibbon (marketing and communications at PRA) will be moving to the Cape next year and leaving Parkview, and I will resign as chairman at this upcoming meeting due to health reasons. We are therefore, urgently looking for volunteers who are ‘committed do-ers’ to take on the key roles as mentioned in the report back document.
Upcoming AGM Details:
When: 4 September at 5.30 pm for 6 pm
Where: Parkview Golf Club on the corner of Wicklow and Emmarentia avenues in Parkview
