Ganyu Issue 12, March 2016
Hello <<First Name>>
In this issue, we prepare for the opening of a new store at Buthan on Elcho Island, and also take a look at the Galiwin'ku Fun Run with ALPA as a major sponsor. Our Wanderers women's football team put in a fantastic effort to make the NTFL women's grand final, and we had some positive meetings with Rirratjingu Aboriginal Corporation. We also celebrate our staff awarded with training certificates as well as 10 years service for Kim Reynolds, Island & Cape General Manager of Operations. Over at Horn Island, we helped to celebrate Easter, and one of our rising star workers Janet Marbinda became a Duty Manager. A few new stars were also created with the filming of a new short film at Milingimbi involving ALPA CDP participants.
