SO.....WHAT'S NEWS???

VALE

We are sad to report the passing of some of our friends, from ALVA and from the "business"

JACK BECKITT - internationally reknowned ventriloquist

WENDY MORRISON - loving wife of Lucky Starr

RON McROBERT - husband of long-time ALVA member Jo McRobert

BRONWEN DALTON - long-time ALVA member, and wife of world-class magician, Paul Dalton

Our thoughts and love to their families at this time.

 

ALVA MAKES A PROFIT!!

Some very happy news from our Treasurers, Pat Scroope and Kerri Lacey. In 2009 ALVA made a profit of $14,259.30. This is an amazing effort from all concerned, up some $10,000 from the year before.

Many thanks to all our ALVA girls, and their guests for your continued support!!!

 

ALVA OFFICE RE-FURB

If you walked into the ALVA Office these days, you wouldn't recognize it! We have managed to have it cleaned and repainted - and it looks like a different room. Your committee walked in to their first meeting last night, and thought they were in the wrong building!!

We have upgraded the old fax and printer (which have finally died) to a new multi-function centre, which this ALVA Bee and Your Treasurer had to beat into submission before anyone else could use it!!

It looks wonderful, and we will be bringing you all your ALVA news and events from a much more productive space.

NEW LOOK NEWSLETTER

Many of you long-time ALVA girls will remember a little publication called the "ALVA BUZZ". (it was before my time!! Heehee) Well, we are bringing back Lizzie Taylor's little baby and making it our 2010 Newsletter. Your Treasurer, Kerri Lacey, and her considerable computer skills, has re-birthed the BUZZ and it is coming to you, first time out, in the post as I type this. It will then be delivered to you via email, for those online (you....cos you are reading this now!!) and still via snail mail for those who aren't.

The online version you can preview below - it's a lot prettier than the mail out version,

cos we can only print in B & W! See what you think.

And don't forget to let us know any of your news, so we can share it with all our ALVA girls.
