HELP WANTED: WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A DOORPERSON OR A COMMITTEE MEMBER?
................................................................
We're still on the lookout for one more doorperson to assist us this semester. Doorpeople are the smiling, friendly faces of the Group who greet you as you enter, and scan your membership card. So if you're a current member, punctual, have a sunny disposition, and are skilled in the fine art of button pressing, this may be for you!
Please note that this is an unpaid volunteer position, but all door people will receive a free membership for the following semester (Semester Two 2017) as a token of our thanks after completing a required number of sessions.
Interested? Want to find out more? Email us at info@anufg.org.au now!
If you'd rather help out in other ways, you'll want to save the date for our Annual General Meeting on MONDAY 6 MARCH at 6 PM.
This is where we appoint our new committee of management that runs the Group, and we’re always keen to see some new faces. No experience necessary, just a willingness to commit a bit of time to help us continue being the awesome film society that you know and love. Please contact us if you're like to know more.
