Welcome to the Winter edition of “The Gem” and thank you to all our contributors and to Margaret Westcott for fulfilling the unenviable task of coordinating and putting into order the various reports and articles. From these reports you will see that your fellow community members have been beavering away on your behalf.
-Paul Toohey with the Community Support Centre Project. For details of the Project please go to the Pearl Beach Progression Association website and view the Q&A with descriptions of the various aspects of the project.
-Mary Knaggs for bringing together the successful grant applications for the War Memorial.
-Victoria Crawford has over several months made great headway with establishing a workable/simple way of handling Hall Bookings. This is vital given revenue from hall bookings is an important part of our budget. We are looking for a volunteer to take over this. If you are interested please contact Victoria or me. Thank you to Rebecca Jacobs who has undertaken the Hall Bookings role over the last couple of years.
-Pim Sarti , together with Paul Barclaire, after many years still keep a watchful eye on the operation of the Community Memorial Hall which after 70 years of service is increasing in its need for tender loving care.
Road Safety in the village is under consideration with the Central Coast Council with a view to upgrading the Giveway sign and speed limits around the village.
Communications is the key to the success of our Association and to that end your Committee has been considering various possible improvement in the use of the website, Facebook page, group email distribution and the updating and relocating of various boards and signs around the village.
There are various activities available to members of the community-hopefully catering to all tastes. We are always looking for new ideas so if you have any let us know.
Enjoy the articles in this Gem and stay safe and cosy until the Spring comes upon us again.
