We have some goals we would like to achieve this year. One of the most important is to have greater engagement with our membership and deliver greater value to you. To that end we welcome the opportunity to hear from you as to how we can better represent you and the wider community.

We have recently held two barbecues at Bunnings Collingwood and thank Jenny Owen for arranging and coordinating these and the East Melbourne residents who helped out on the days. Funds raised from these events will go towards supporting the work undertaken by the EMG in the community.

The event at the Johnston Collection on May 2 is sold out. Rest assured our social team are working on a range of upcoming community events. Details to follow. •
