Hello ????

Is anyone interested in coming to this meeting on the 21st?
That's Wednesday next week.

4:30 - 6:30  Wed 21 March
Westall Secondary College
Rosebank Avenue, Clayton South, Victoria, 3169

Before I confirm interstate speakers it would be good to know if anyone
other than Roland and me will be there?

Otherwise - I'll postpone and we can try again next term?

cheers
Donna
