Greetings!
I would like to take the opportunity to thank Jo Heslin for her hard work and dedication to Armidale / Uralla Meals on Wheels and for building this organisation to what it is today.
After a few weeks in the chair I can clearly see that the business is well placed to grow further into the future as we consolidate our plans for the café and to finalise the premises (addition of freezer room, glass petition and solar panels)
Thank you all for your welcoming support and for those of you who were able to attend the afternoon tea to say Farewell to Jo and Welcome to myself, thanks again for your kind words and encouragement!
In other news, there has been some speculation in the media around Meals on Wheels funding in the lead-up to the federal budget. I think we are always seeking to ensure the future of this service and the National MOW Association made a submission to the government along those lines. Some media outlets picked this up and posted some worrying articles but at this stage, and although we agree with the need for increased and secured ongoing funding, these reports should be no cause for concern.
Kind Regards, Kerryn Williams
