Hi All,

I hope this finds you well and you have managed to dodge the covid bullet.

Well by now I am sure you will have all heard the 2022 event is now off until 2023. All payments through Eventbrite will be globally refunded -I don’t think you have to do anything. Which I guess brings us to what we want to do next year. I think for sure (assuming all is well) that I will be going to the 2023 event and I guess it remains to be seen whether we want to also have our own get together. We can of course discuss closer to that time …although the time flew between kicking off organising for this year – where does time go these days? J. But I digress. So, 2024 would be our next milestone reunion and hence why I was asking the question re next year. I am all for though catching up whenever we can…after all none of us are getting any younger J. Anyway – stay tuned and we can start discussing this later in the year.

A big welcome too to the guys that have come across to the groups.io list in the last few months. There aren’t many of our group left now ?to come across and we now have 42 of us on the main list. I am also pretty sure that there shouldn’t be anyone getting emails twice from me when I do a bulk email to both lists so I think I have managed to clean all that up. I still have a few on that 2^nd list whom I have to contact to try to bring them over – a work in progress.

Given that a lot of restrictions have been lifted regarding Covid, it’s probably time for another local get together and I will look at doing that shortly.

Below is the email I received from John Morris which no doubt most of you will have also received the same. He also gave me a phone call to see if I could drum up some business within the group and encourage people to make a donation – big or small to the Foundation. I think it’s a great initiative and I wish them well.

All the best for now – and do stay safe.

John

Hello fellow Yanconians?

Whilst the Reunion Dinner to celebrate the centenary of the school has been postponed to Friday 10th March 2023, the work of the Foundation goes on. It's a busy time building the Foundation as well.?

Th e Yanconians' Foundation website went LIVE on 7th January 2022 with a Founding Donors appeal (Click below) to build the resources needed for the foundation's fundraising aspirations.?

The initial response by Yanconians has been encouraging; we now need the support of as many further alumni as possible.?

We understand every circumstance is different. I am asking each of you to consider investing in the Foundation through a large or small donation, whichever is possible under your own circumstances.?

We need to show the sch ool community and our sponsorship programs, that there is a commitment by most of us.?

We estimate there are about 3,000 of us Yanconians which is a small base for a Foundation. We will always need business and corporate sponsorship.?

A Foundation Position Statement (Click below) has been prepared to show where we have come from in the last 9 months and our plans, already well underway, for the next 18 months.?

We have a range of smaller projects in hand. ?The Foundation Board is formulating several larger pro jects in conjunction with the OYU, with a view to attracting a cohort of corporate sponsors.?

All these sponsors will want to see a majority of Yanconians support the Foundation.?

So, please consider those smaller donations you would have given at the reunion dinner. ??

Have a look at the Foundation website (Click below) for more information.? If you decide to donate, press the DONATE NOW button, then click on one of the donation tabs.?

You will be directed to payment online, bank transfer, cheque or credit card.?

It's easy. ??

The foundation is also registered for grain growers' donations through the NGR and rice growers through the GDA (growers should contact Bill Barwick prior to delivery for the correct documentation)?

I would appreciate your consideration and active support to show there is a genuine commitment to the Foundation by Yanconians from all years.

&nbs p;Best regards,?

John Morris (1958-1962)?

Chairperson?

YAHS Old Yanconians' Foundation Ltd.?
