Dear Members and Friends,

The following office bearers are nominated, but additional self-nominations are welcome.

General Committee: Mel Zerbe, David Gibb, Roger and Hannah Stuart-Andrews, Bill McDonough, Brian Coleman, Marcus Hoof, Rick Owen, Fraymond Lew

New Position: Secretary/Membership Liaison – to track current and prospective members and keep members updated via email. (dunnscreeklandcare@gmail.com) i.e. Forward Landcare network emails.

Dunns Creek Landcare committee meets only every so often, to touch base, drink wine, and follow up on projects and communications. Please consider joining the committee at least, without being an office bearer – add your wisdom and brainpower.  Not a huge commitment in terms of time as most are by email, it’s interesting and stimulating and you feel more part of our community; satisfaction that you’re contributing to our community and not just standing by.  These experiences broaden your knowledge of Landcare, enable you to make valuable contacts and increase your awareness of what, where and how Landcare is improving our unique Mornington Peninsula environment. Nomination forms will be available at the AGM. See you there.

Marcus O’Reilly. President
