Hello everyone,
We have had to change the date of our next meeting and get-together at the Fire Station as we had double booked the night with Landcare.
The new date for the meeting is Wednesday, 2 June and commencing at 7p.m. to enable us to have a quick meeting and then our Pizza Dinner. Please let us know when you can whether you will be attending the meeting. If you see anyone who you know is not on email, can you please let them know.
Minutes will be sent around as soon as the ever efficient (ha ha), Secretary gets them done.

NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
27 May 2010 to 3 June 2010
National Reconciliation Week is an important time for all Australians. It is the practice to mark National Reconciliation Week with the flying and display of the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag.
The two dates are significant in the history of reconciliation. The 27th of May is the anniversary of the date of the 1967 Referendum which successfully removed from the Constitution clauses that discriminated against Indigenous Australians. The 3rd of June is the anniversary of the High Court decision in the Eddie Mabo land rights case handed down in 1992. The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2010 is ‘Reconciliation: Let’s see it through!’ and highlights the 10th anniversary of the bridge walks.
Throughout the week, the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag should be flown on additional flagpoles, where available.
If there is only one flagpole available at a station the Australian Aboriginal Flag or the Torres Strait Islander Flag should not replace the Australian National Flag. But if two flagpoles are available, it is at the discretion of the authority concerned to determine which of the two flags is flown with the Australian National Flag. The Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag have equal status and may be flown in any order after the Australian National Flag.
Your assistance is appreciated.
