CANWin’s first street stall was held in Mittagong on Saturday the 25th August.
We are holding these every couple of weeks in different towns in the Shire to provide basic information to the public on climate change and they also serve to recruit new members.
Mittagong is a difficult venue particularly because the new shopping development has greatly reduced the number of people in the main street. Despite this, our first day was quite successful with 8 people registering with Sandra for our newsletter and two new confirmed financial members.
Nina D’Arcy has done a great job organising Council approvals and our roster. The first stall was attended by Sandra Menteith, Jeremy Hynes and Rob Parker. Jeremy showed great skills in meeting with people and has a very engaging manner.
Our selection of handouts has been greatly boosted by our own research group who have contributed ten different papers on subjects such a Greenpower, solar hot water and carbon trading.
Whether you are rostered on or not, members are encouraged to come along on Saturday mornings because these events are fun and are just a good outing. We generally grab a coffee and have a good yarn.
Our next stall will be at Moss Vale on the 8th September somewhere between IGA Tuckerbag and the newsagent and it will be run by Bob Thomas, Sheila Ring and backed up by Amanda Lambess.
