Yesterday we received notification from Simon de Munck, General Manager of Club Rivers stating our CDSE grant application had been successful. The application was submitted by SSMBA in April this year asking for financial assistance for the production and distribution of our 2008/09 newsletter.
Mr de Munck said, "I am happy to report that Club Rivers has considered your application favourably and decided to fund your entire application to the tune of $5,000.00 – well done!"
Linda Allen, SSMBA President said, "Thanks to Vice President, Katrina Carroll and helpers for their great work. Our application requested funding to ensure continued circulation of our newsletter to not just our members, but now also to medical professionals, family support groups, baby health centres and the many others that provide services to multiple birth families in our community."
Katrina Carroll, SSMBA Vice-President, thanked Mr de Munck on behalf of the committee and added, "We should be able to do so much more for our members now, raise SSMBA's profile and thus increase awareness of our existence! Our committee feels very passionate of our club's importance within the community and this shows we're not the only ones. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to apply for the grant."
Needless to say, there was a flurry of email between the SSMBA committee and Mr de Munck expressing gratitude and general elation!
What fantastic news!!
