At the AGM, it was noted that we should engage our members out at the Walkley location.  This should also include an attempt to recruit new stewards.

There are only about 20 AUs at the Walkley location.

The President and Vice-President shall visit the site within the next 2 weeks- date to be determined by the participants.  Donuts and pass-holders shall be provided to the Walkley members.

Lunch & Learns were also brought up at the AGM.
We have set our target to hold 3 L&Ls this year.  The executive will assign various roles in order to get this accomplished.  J. Gordon Bulmer, in his role as a member of the learning and training committee, has offered pizza.  We will now need to look into topics and speakers for these events.    

Round Table    

Burgess:  Will need to obtain signing authority for Tom on the bank account.

Kalman:  The minutes for today and the AGM are required to be submitted prior to attempting to obtain signing authority.
