Dear Natalie					Special Olympics Australia [SOA]
								
       DRAFT REPORT: TREASURER WORK GROUP SOA MTG S 31 OCT 2015

Thanks for your email report on SOA Mtg Sat 31 Oct 2015 received 21:51 
Sun 15 Nov 2015 and Notice of the next SO Flinders Mtg Tue 17 Nov 2015

Unfortunately I will not be able to make the meeting today so here is 
my report On-line which includes the Treasurer Work-Group at the SOA 
Meeting on Sat 31 Oct 2015

SOA have been copied in as there may be issues that they may wish to 
clarify

If there are any questions we may be able to obtain a response from SOA 
for the next Flinders Mtg Tue 15 Dec 2015

Would you ask the Committee if the other attached Minutes can be placed 
On-line as an example for local sponsorship eg by local sport resources ?

Another advantage of On-line Minutes and Reports is that it can provide 
links to On-line key documents like the new National Standard for 
Volunteering and the current Privacy Acts

Thanks

Rgds
