Very important members meeting with FREE lunch included! Monday 23 Feb 12-1pm

Dear Members,

We have a very important members meeting before drop in from 12pm this Monday 23rd February with free lunch and goodies included for everyone.  

Why?

We need to update you on our important work this year to get Gateway more funding.  We also want to tell you about the steps we need to take over the next few weeks.  In January, the Gateway Advisory Committee wrote to important people and officials in the HSE and the Department of Health.  We requested meetings with them to discuss how to get Gateway better funded for the future.

Why now?

The officials and HSE managers we wrote to are influential people and we hope they will help us find better funding for Gateway.  They would like to come and visit Gateway and learn more about us over the next few weeks.  We need to arrange days and times for these people to visit us.  We also need to make sure that all members are aware of these meetings in advance so they can choose to attend or not.  We will make sure these visits are put into the monthly schedule and that members are emailed updates and a blog update will be posted online for example: http://projectgateway.blogspot.ie/2015/02/february-schedule-2015.html . 

Can you help Gateway?

We would also appreciate any help from members during drop ins and helping to pass along the information to others.

Martha will talk to everyone at the members meeting this Monday.  She will talk about ways people can keep their privacy and ways members could help if they want.

This will be a short meeting and relaxed chat with a nice free group lunch from 12pm.  

Please attend this important members meeting if you can and tell other members to come too.

Many thanks,

Fionn & Martha
