From Courtney Collins
I am conducting a feasibility study on behalf of the School for Social Entrepreneurs Australia (www.sse.org.au) to determine the need for a program of support for social entrepreneurs (or people who have created a solution to a social or environmental problem) in your area.
The SSE program is a 9-month, action-learning based program that has run successfully for over 15 years in the UK and now, is in its 3rd successful year in Australia. Anecdotally, we know that regional areas are a hothouse of entrepreneurial activity and it is SSE's vision to make the program as accessible as possible.
To do that, first we must determine the specific and unique needs of people working for positive social and community change in regional areas.
In brief I am asking for your support to:
a) complete the questionnaire for Friends of Social Entrepreneurs: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Hello_Friend
b) through your networks, distribute the second questionnaire to Social Entrepreneurs or change makers or community leaders in your area: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Hello_Social_Entrepreneur
The deadline for the survey is October 31st.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response. Please feel free to contact me with any queries regarding the survey, or the work of School for Social Entrepreneurs Australia.

Good afternoon Ladies
The Hot Women team would like to invite you to an informal get together. We started in business a little over one year ago and understand the desire for women to connect with each other in business and have some fun in social settings.
As I am a member of MRBWN for Hot Graphics and have mentioned Hot Women at one of the meetings could I ask that you forward this onto your members along with anyone else who is new in business or wants to meet with other positive women.
If you do not know about us yet have a look at www.hotwomenguide.com.au. If you could let us know you are coming that would assist with catering for the afternoon, just let us know by return email.

Kind regards

MEDIA RELEASE
Kempsey Shire Council
APPROVAL GRANTED BY MINISTER FOR NSW INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS TO CHANGE DATE OF KEMPSEY CUP
Council has been granted approval by the Minister for NSW Industrial Relations to change the date of the half day holiday for the running of the Kempsey Cup to 11 November 2011.
Council made application to NSW Industrial Relations, supporting a request from the Kempsey Race Club Inc to change the date of the Kempsey Cup half day public holiday from 12 May to 11 November 2011.
The Minister for NSW Industrial Relations has now advised Council that approval has been granted for the change of date. Council has also approved the change of date to 11 November 2011.
Local public holidays are gazetted under the Banks and Banks Holidays Act of 1912. This act requires that banks are closed on local public holidays. An appointed local holiday under the Act benefits employees who have an industrial award, agreement or contract of employment which confers a right of paid absence (or penalty rates in lieu) on the local public holiday. In the absence of such express coverage within an applicable industrial instrument, the conferring of the benefit of a local public holiday to employees is entirely within the discretion of individual employers.
KEMPSEY SHOW - WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON 11 MAY 2011
A public half day holiday on Wednesday afternoon, 11 May 2011, has been gazetted by the NSW Department of Industrial Relations in the Kempsey Shire Council area for the Kempsey Show.
