3rd Committee Meeting of the SSMBA Year

We're well into our 2008/09 year and are raring to go. We had a good turn-out of committee members at our third GM. We've had 8 new membership and 6 membership renewals this month. We now have printed our very own SSMBA leaflets explaining all about us which we are trying to distribute everywhere we can think in order to raise our profile, gain members and thus help and support as many families of multiples as possible. If you can help with this distribution please let us know.
We talked about the Family Picnic Days, the success of the first one and how in the winter months we won't hold them as we cannot find a suitable and affordable indoor venue (weekends seem to be so busy at indoor venues). We are, however, going to hold an under 5's afternoon disco which we'll open up to family and friends of SSMBA members.
We've had a couple of vacant committee positions filled but there are still some roles needing to be filled - please see July's newsletter for details.
There was much discussed with regards to fundraising, grants and sponsorship and the many ongoing projects and ideas we have. In fact, we have so many ideas, we’ve decided we need to get together to spend some time prioritising and scheduling just what we are going to be doing in the next few months.

As we value our members input and ideas, we would like to open these discussions up to all members and are therefore going to hold a discussion meeting (with kids in tow!) on Friday 29 June from 10am. So if you’ve got some time to spare, or would just like to catch up for coffee,feel free to drop by!
