Perhaps you have felt this winter has been colder than most – I have
found it hard to keep warm, and even had to purchase an electric
blanket! I am patiently waiting for spring to arrive.
In our last newsletter, we were planning to host another Q&A panel discussion/Polio SA Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Glenunga Hub.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel this meeting, but the AGM will still be held at 1pm on Sunday 24 September at our office, 302 South Road , Hilton.
We have made arrangements for a speaker to guide us over-65s on where to get support when the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) starts.
We will try to organise another Q&A panel discussion in February or March 2018 at the Glenunga Hub.
Polio Australia’s next Annual General Meeting will be held in Canberra in November. Peter and I will be attending. The committee will participate in a ‘Walk with Me’ activity with some MPs who are friends of Polio Australia. Peter and I would really appreciate a small donation from you to support the Polio
Australia Walk with Me Fund. For the duration of the meeting the Malcolm Fraser Bridge will be illuminated orange, the colour that has been adopted by Polio Australia.
I hope to see many of you at the AGM in September. Please bring a small plate for afternoon tea. Coffee, tea and water will be provided.
Brett Howard, President, Polio SA
