Dear GRATISNETTERS,  

Well it's nearly the end of the year and we have come to the end of the term of this Committee.
The last two years have been very interesting and active ones. We have seen the development of the GRATISNET web to include many useful enhancements. 
It is hard to determine what the most useful enhancement of this period has been, but for me it has been the comprehensive updating of the manual. This has facilitated ease of use for GRATISNET and I think that's what our network is all about.
 
 
I would like to thank the National Executive and State Committees and all GRATISNET members for their input and hard work over the last two years and the hard work and skill of Edmund Balnaves from Prosentient.
Angela Palumbo ( Website Co-ordinator, GRATISNET National Executive Committee) and Edmund Balnaves have spent a huge amount of time and effort, with the assistance of the National Executive and State Committees, to ensure that our product is the best it can be. Thank you both for a job well done!
 
 
I am very pleased to inform you that the new GRATISNET National Executive Committee Co-ordinator is Michele Wathen. Michele is an experienced and dedicated GRATISNET member of the Queensland State Committee and I know the new National Executive Committee will take GRATISNET from strength to strength.   
We have a wonderful and invaluable network. Its strength and success are due to the amazing co-operation and hard work put in by its members.
Thank you all and have a good Christmas and excellent 2010.   
 
 
Best wishes.
Caryl Armstrong
Co-ordinator, GRATISNET National Executive Committee.
