AGM 7pm 30th June 2009 Brooklyn Resource Centre

Posted by on June 3, 2009

We are approaching our Annual General Meeting at the end of the month and I cordially invite you to come along. In fact, it would be fantastic if you could.

While we are looking for more volunteers, we will not be press ganging anyone onto the committee if they do not want to join.

We will have some of our Council officials there to get their opinions on where they see Wellington is at and is heading, and we should have time to have an overview on a number of the topical issues in front of us at present:

« The reduction in the stench from the Southern Landfill due to it being dumped into the tip

« The growth of local sub divisions

« The wind turbine development proposed south west of Brooklyn and west of Owhiro Bay

I hope to catch up with you afterwards for a cup of tea and a biscuit!
