    Hobsons Bay Obedience Dog Club Second-hand Book Stall

    Hobsons Bay Obedience Dog Club
    Fundraising Second-hand Book Stall
    Sunday 1 September 9.30 to 11.30 am
     
    Dear Beacon Cove Neighbourhood Association,

     On Sunday 1 September, Hobsons Bay Obedience Dog Club Inc. will be hosting a fundraising second-hand book stall, from 9.30am to 11.30am at our club room(Garden City Reserve)

    All proceeds from this book stall will be donated to Lort Smith Animal Hospital Pet Therapy Program.

    Volunteers from this program carry out regular day visits to hospitals, nursing homes and day care centres with their own specially trained dogs to provide companionship and affection. 

    Two of our local facilities (Southport Community Residential Home, and Claremont Aged Care) are happy recipients of visits by a pet therapy dog which is owned and handled by Janette Wilson, Vice President of Hobsons Bay Obedience Dog Club.

    Lort Smith Animal Hospital is a not-for-profit organisation and receives no government funding.

    Members of BCNA are very welcome to come and peruse the books that we have available for sale.  If any books are not bought on 1 September, we will hold a repeat sale on 8 September.

    We have decided that any unbought books after this date will be donated to charities/opportunity shops within the City of Port Phillip.

    We hope you can come and join in the fun of our fabulous book sale.

    Kind regards

    Janette Wilson
    Vice President
    Hobsons Bay Obedience Dog Club

    NEW BCNA Rules of Association



    A new legislative framework for incorporated associations in Victoria came into effect on 26 November 2012.  The framework includes:
    • a new act - the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012
    • new regulations - the Associations Incorporation Reform Regulations 2012, and
    • new model rules for incorporated associations.
    The reforms cover the following areas:
    • Codification of duties for office holders
    • Defences for office holders
    • Indemnity for office holders
    • Tiered reporting procedures
    • Merger of Public Officer / Secretary 
    • Removal of the prohibition on trading
    • Use of technology at committee and general meetings
    • New matters that must be provided for in an association's rules
    • Removal of committee members
    • Conflicts of interest and committee members
    • Clarification of the rights of members
    • Disciplinary action against a member 
    • Grievance procedures

    In order to ensure BCNA meets the requirements of the Act, the Committee is proposing that the (attached) rules be adopted at the Annual General Meeting in October 2013. In order to be adopted, the meeting will need to support a special resolution, which means the resolution will need to be supported by 75% of the members in attendance at the AGM.
