Community Report - Alexandrina Connect Embroidery Business proposal.
The purchase of the embroidery business has fallen through. We have received a request from the president Margaret Gardiner, requesting that the funds promised for this project be diverted to either moving premises, or purchase of a olive grove on Hindmarsh Island.
I have advised Margaret that our grant was specifically for the embroidery business, and any other project would require a new application.
Application forms sent.
S.A. Water Grant - We have received advice from S.A. Water that funds are available for community groups to participate in a water saving project.
I have made several calls to the council, to see if there was anywhere, we could put such a grant to use. I eventually got a reply from Ian Brett, who stated that all council property complied with S.A. Water guide lines, and he would get back to me if he could think of anything.
The board decided to look into the grant to fund the purchase of water saving crystals to put with tree planting this year.
