First Night @ GB Pt. Chev 2012

First night of Girls' Brigade @ Pt. Chev for 2012

Beautiful pink and white marshmellows arrived for an evening of relays, games, and roasting.

Officially 29 on the roll the first night - only 6 spaces left!

We completed the activities as in previous post, with some minor adjustments.  Megan and Sue did well to rustle up a tree to burn - a perfect end to the night eating roasted marshmellows as the sun set.

Funding and Marketing Resources

Meetings coming out my ears!
But loved last nights company AGM and planning night - lots of debate and opinions shared - so productive.  Love to have such a great team involved in an awesome ministry.

Like all of you not only are we looking at our programme for the year but also looking at fundraising and grants.
So a couple of links for you:

• Fundview - you can access it free at your local library.  Below is the link to the Auckland Council site, if you're an Aucklander and have a library card you can use this from the comfort of home.  http://www.aucklandcitylibraries.com/DigitalLibrary/resourcepages/fundview.aspx

• Exult - I have the The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising, Top 40 Checklists for Community Groups, and 40 Marketing Must-Do's.  Absolutely fantastic resources - they have been a huge help and I definitely recommend Exult.  An excellent company dedicated and passionate about the not-for-profit sector.  I have just signed up to receive Tonic magazine for a year and also their Sustainable Funding workshop on DVD.  So I will bring you some info from these wonderful resources during the year.   http://www.exult.co.nz/
