ARC Lost Property
An ARC hat and blue book were left behind at the AWM gig last Friday.
Bob has lost his pocket diary and believes he may have left it on the gig table at rehearsal last night practice. If anyone picked it up could you give Bob a call on 6286 2511 or send him an email
ARC Public Relations
You may remember that the Community CPS Australia arranged for Channelvision media coverage of the annual concert. The email from Geoff advised all it was being broadcast locally 4 times per day for the past week on ACT TransTV and broadcast nationally on Foxtel/ Austar on Sunday 30th October, Monday 31st October, Tuesday 1st November, Wednesday 2nd November and Thursday 3rd November. It is also www.channelvision.com.au/shows/born-from-a-vision/?video=749
Also in your local Southside Chronicle, turn to the advertising section on page 36. You will see some very familiar faces helping to promote our next gig.
