 Have you ever questioned if something should or shouldn’t be moved? Does a motion need to be made for that decision? Should the Treasurer second their own report? Are we including too much or too little in our meetings and find them running over time? Are we making more work for our volunteer committee members? Let’s bust some myths and learn more about how to run effective meetings with Stuart Reid, WA Council of Social Service (WACOSS) Manager of Projects and Business Development. Stuart will facilitate the session via video conference and cover the essential requirements for effective meetings including:

Projects should also align with one or both follow two priority areas: 1. Grazing management Electric fencing has revolutionised pasture management techniques meaning better profitability for farmers. Permanent or portable systems are used to subdivide pastures for more effective grazing, keeping the grass fresh, short, high energy and palatable which ultimately leads to increased milk and meat production; and/or 2.

Leukaemia is the general name given to a group of cancers that develop in the bone marrow. Grouped in two ways – by the type of white blood cell affected (lymphoid or myeloid) and how quickly the disease develops. Acute Leukaemia appears suddenly and grows quickly while chronic Leukaemia appears and develops gradually. To help raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation, local Shane Hall is one of the lucky (or not so lucky) community members who is participating in this year’s fun community MAYyouDARE challenge! MAYyouDARE is a community challenge and fundraiser in which the community can donate to one or all three community members participating in the challenge. The person who receives the greatest donations during the month of May then must complete a dare. The dare for 2019 is to lip-sync/karaoke to a song chosen by the CRC in an outfit chosen by the CRC. Donations to each person will be shared 50/50 to the charity and the CRC – helping to keep our doors open and to assist in hosting workshops and events for the community. If you would like to donate to Shane and this worthy cause, we are accepting donations at the CRC, the Kukerin General Store and the Dumbleyung District Club. Alternatively, you can donate online (see details below): Dumbleyung CRC BSB – 302 162 ACCOUNT NUMBER – 0830520 REFERENCE – Name of person you are donating to See the flyer below for more information about the MAYyouDARE challenge and the other community members involved.

This amazing donation will assist in covering travel costs for community members who utilise the service for medical appointments.
The CATS car can be used for medical and compassionate reasons and clients may travel to Perth, Bunbury, Albany, Katanning, Wagin or Narrogin. Currently clients using the community car for medical appointments (to Perth, Bunbury or Albany), and for whom the Patient Assisted Transport Scheme (PATS) applies, pay an additional $50 to the Shire of Dumbleyung for assistance in the running and maintenance of the service. Thanks to the Dumbleyung Volunteer Fire Brigade’s generous support this $50 fee will now be waived on these trips. Clients who wish to use the CATS service for medical or compassionate reasons to Wagin, Katanning or Narrogin pay a flat rate of $30, with compassionate trips to Perth costing a flat rate of $50. In both of these instances, the subsidy from the Dumbleyung Volunteer Fire Brigade is not available. Since its inception in December 2018 the CATS car has made 12 trips - one to Albany, one to Narrogin and ten to Perth. The CATS car is a community initiative made possible by Bain Estate and is proving to be a wonderful asset for assisting those in need in our community, a final huge THANKYOU to the Dumbleyung Volunteer Fire Brigade for their generous donation, which ensures this vital service continues to help those within our community.
