Good Afternoon <<First Name>>,
Our city needs continued investment which will deliver jobs, stimulate our economy and meet the needs of a growing city. 2018 is an election year and it is pleasing to see leading organisations unite behind the City of Ballarat to support the Ballarat. Now and Into the Future campaign. We encourage everyone to read and watch the detail about the six key projects and you too can become an advocate.
Our Young Professionals are heading off to Hop Temple this week for Musical Bingo which is great fun but also they will be interacting and building their networks. Make sure you or people from your workplace are getting along Thursday night.
I loved the AFL footy on the weekend, yes it was chilly and yes we (the Bulldogs) lost but how fantastic to see the city buzzing all weekend with visitors from across the State and SA!!
Hope to see many of you next week for BisNet with Mr Jayco, Gerry Ryan.
Cheers
Jodie Gillett
