CARAC as the primary topic on the next agenda and invite CARAC members to come

space, reducing waste etc. I have many years experience in
event planning, fund raising and project management that
could be utilized and I have a strong interest to get involved in

recreation and enhanced quality of life ie. blue zone planning.
