A community association is inviting interested locals along to participate in its annual general meeting (AGM) where they can learn about its groups, services, and passion for its town.
Proserpine Community Centre will host its AGM on Wednesday, November 16, at 7pm at 36 Gardenia Street. Locals will have the opportunity to listen to a series of reports on the local incorporated centre.
Coordinator at the centre, Ingrid Ruck said the meeting presented locals with input into a vital service within the community.
“Positions on the role – the chair, vice chair, secretary, and treasurer – will be re-electing for their positions this year, but a decision for more community input can see the appointment of three members of the community,” Ms Ruck said.
“Those people who are active in the community can contribute to what we do here.”
Ms Ruck said that people often ask her what exactly the community centre staff “do”.
“In the simplest terms, we help people,” Ms Rusk said.
“Whether it’s a client, a colleague, peer support, or whether it’s someone new to the area, they can ring us. We try to keep our whole community in Proserpine up to date with what’s happening. Our question whenever someone walks through the door is: ‘How can we help you?’
“Sometimes, it is just about listening and showing a bit of kindness.”
The Proserpine Community Centre AGM begins at 7pm next Wednesday at the Centre itself and will provide a light supper. Everyone is welcome.
