SASH April 2009
Please read the dates and the happenings in the next SASH meetings or outings!
1. Next meeting
The next meeting is on 14th April, 2.30pm, at St Richards Community Centre, Egmont Road, Hove.
Bring along an usual, interesting or favourite object and tell us what it means to you. There are often interesting stories behind our favourite things - a family heirloom, a piece of jewellery, a special present etc. Lindsay, from Speakability Head Office, will lead this session.
Lindsay will also tell us about ‘Speak About Aphasia Month’ Campaign 2009 - a campaign to encourage coffee shops to provide handheld picture-based menus. Hear about this and see if SASH can join in.
2. Meeting in May
On Tuesday 12th May, we will meet in the café at the Wyevale Garden Centre at 3pm for a cup of tea and a cake after you’ve looked at the plants and all the things for the garden - and perhaps before you purchase those plants you picked!
PLEASE RING OR EMAIL JEANNETTE BY 6TH MAY AND LET HER KNOW WHETHER YOU CAN COME OR NOT. ADDRESS AND EMAIL ADDRESS AT THE END OF THIS LETTER.
3. Meeting in June
Roy is looking at the possibility of having the afternoon at the Bingo Hall in Kemp Town on Tuesday June 9th. Keep this date in your diary and we’ll let you know as soon as possible!
4 Decisions taken at the AGM
The last SASH meeting in March was the AGM. Jeannette, the chair of the group, and Liz, the volunteer and secretary, stood down. However, there where no takers to take on any positions so Jeannette is still doing some of the work for a while to keep SASH together and Liz is staying on as a ‘social secretary’. Is anyone able to help out, offering any of the jobs that have to be done - like taking over organising the tea and biscuits etc?
Melanie, the Speakability Chief Executive, attended the meeting and told us about the work Speakability is doing. She offered to find a new volunteer for SASH and will help SASH going.
5. If you need a taxi for the meeting in April and/or May please contact Jeannette by ringing 413759 or emailing jeannette@gould28.wanadoo.co.uk.
