- Val Cuniffee advised that a FORaMEAL event would be held for Strathcona School in June.
- Bill Granger gave an update on the drought relief project.

Mike Walsh then led a discussion on possibly renaming the Aussie Pride badge. He outlined that students at Swinburne University had been undertaking a project to identify ways to improve marketing of the badges and had observed that the badge name has possibly lost its uniqueness particularly when the name is searched on the internet.
Members discussed possible alternative names for the badge which will be distributed by Steve Wylie to members for further consideration.
