There are many things that are celebrated once a year… birthdays, holidays and significant occasions ranging from first kiss to wedded bliss. Alas the Annual General Meeting of a local Progress Association is rarely equated with the same level of enthusiasm and viewed as more of a millstone than a milestone.
This year the tide will turn and there will be fond memories and celebratory fervour for 64 years of beavering away in the community, encapsulated by the Annual General Meeting.
On Monday 12th April from 7pm, the Coal Point Progress Association will be celebrating the past and visioning the future. There have been nominations secured for all the Committee positions so you can come along in confidence that you won’t be seconded on to a sub-committee.
The formal proceedings will include all the tried and true AGM party favourites including The Presidents Pitter-Patter, pin the de-tails on the Treasurer, musical Chairs for the election of office-bearers and Volunteer thanks and Life Membership to the Association awarded to the truly committed.
Once the new, fresh-faced committee is declared the fun will continue and a vision splendid for the year ahead will emerge from the combined consciousness of those present. If you have an event or an idea you would like to suggest for the year ahead, it would be great to hear about it.
By the end of the evening as the doors swing shut it is hoped that people will leave with a new sense of optimism for the organisation, some take-home activities that they feel excited, enthusiastic and empowered to take on and a warm fuzzy feeling that the world is really a wonderful place, especially our little piece of it.
There will be celebratory platters of food and drinks provided to initiate the party atmosphere but as numbers are uncertain, bring something to share to contribute to the festive fare as well.
