New Business

Discussion regarding homegroups to chat to newcomers/individuals in a personable/one on one manner for encouragement into homegroups/service.
• Acacia Ridge 7pm Thursday meeting discussion. Nicole O asking GSF for support on ideas for more support. Just took over secretary position, only two members including self were present at meeting this week. Unsure about treasurer or rent situation. Numbers have been low consistently. Discussion regarding changing time, day or venue.

Discussion regarding Activities Ideas:

– “Meeting Raid” Sunshine Coast/Gold Coast – GSF passed no need for approval with GSF if no funds required, members/groups ok to arrange by themselves.
– “Stay Connected” list for Christmas for members struggled, suggested by Sean H. GSF agreed it was a great idea.
– New Years Eve party Friday 31/12 suggested by Nicole O. To be actioned: proposal to be brought to next GSF for approval. Need to research COVID Regulations
