Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and that the Australian Open drove some business your way.
We had planned to hold our AGM after the State Government announced the winners of the grant application that submitted for a Swan Street business mobile phone APP.
We were advised by the State Government last year this was going to be announced in January 2013 and have since been advised the announcement will be made on 22 February 2013.
I am of the firm belief if we are successful, the APP will assist not only our businesses but also the business association as well and if we are unsuccessful the businesses that want to participate in the mobile APP can spread the development cost across themselves. (See TAB re Grant Applications for our submission (PASSWROD 3121)
Last year, we asked if you all could tell your neigbouring businesses about or Blog here so we can effectively communicate with you all, to date we only have several followers on this blog and we need each and every business to follow the blog as it is an effective communication method.
Emails that we send out only have about a 2 or 3 person reply rate and if anyone has a better solution to openly communicate with everyone please let us know.
Leanne, will send out an Email tonight re a group meeting for next week and we can then announce a date for late Feb for our AGM.
We really need everyone to spread the word re this Blog site so we can continually update via this medium and people can have one central space to refer back too.
Look forward to seeing you all at the meeting next week and we look forward to seeing our followers list here increase with businesses.
Once Leanne send the email out I will update the meeting tab with a blog entry.
Regards
Brad
