As most of
you are aware some of the Tamils in Sydney have chosen Port Macquarie as their
regional settlement place, something they are required to do to comply with
their visa requirements. While most of the people that will be arriving here
have lived in Australia for a few years, living in a regional or rural setting
is a new experience This also means finding accommodation, jobs, enrolling in
schools or tertiary education facilities and getting to know the locals.
This means
more work and engagement for our group, we need more active members. We would
like to invite you to discuss how to share the load and how you can get
involved. Our AGM is coming up on Saturday 6 October 10am at Wauchope Arts Hall,
an opportunity to get involved. The
AGM Notice and Nomination Form are attached.
