Ratifying the consitition of Unit.

 Having an Annual General Meeting is a thing/ a process that needs to be learned and done.  Everything needs to be okayed and finalized through an AGM.  Then typed out and copies sent out.  This helps everyone formally know what you are doing / have done.

At the AGM motions that have been moved through out the year are rattified and become a formal part of the opporating management system of the Gipps Guides. 

So when is your AGM Ladies?

Is there room for a Vise President in Gipps Guides?

  Rebecca sees the need for a Vise President.  The Vise President position is a maybe.  Depending on your understanding of what one is and the Job descriptions given to the position.

  I suggested that an agenda be opened for the AGM to vote on.  But in the mean time to a) put the thought forward b) have general discussion at meeting, c) vote on including it in the AGM for rattification, d) if it okayed a general meeting then have a trial period with a Vise President. e) What is the Vise Presidents role to be?  ? same as a Patrol Seconder? (In the mean time I'll hunt out the old Ranger / Ranger Guide/ Guide Handbooks for a basic description.  Does the Region have a description of the possition of vise president?? that they could review?  Does State or National??  To keep the position "Guides Like" where would I look other wise?... now I am curious.

more Jewelery making days

Kira would like more days Jewelery making.  What about asking other Gipps Guides and others who are able to attend if they can make it on a week day?  Say a time / day that the Glendonald Child and Maternal Health Center has not got kids using it?  Make this once a month at first.  Then see if it can be developed from here!

This is what developing ones interests is all about...experiancing and experimentation.  Along the way the net work of people interested in one thing will grow, membership of Gipps Guides and other guiding things will expand. 

When any of this occurs you have the beginning of empowerment happening.  Go for it.

Melbourne quearies for membership.

Samar knows of other people who are from Melbourne.  They too want to join into the Olave Program. The basic procedure is to get in touch with touch with the Melbourne office via a Cluster representive and go through there channels.  However yes invite people who are interested in what you are doing up to the meetings, activites, events and services that are happening. 

Word of Mouth is terrific advertising.  Interested people share ideas and better yet you experience and join in with a wider range of activities, services and event.  You then have more opportunities to net work your self, skills, and knowledge.
