Panic Message and Appeal to all Readers
Please Help !!
Although we think we sent you an internet message and leaflet about the
visit of Hon Paul Hellyer to Australia, we only have 50 registrations for
the 11 April Summit in Sydney. (Registration leaflet is below with some
details).
Please help us by coming and bringing some-one else if you can.
It's the lowest pre-conference registration we have ever had, and to bring
an ex-deputy Prime Minister out from Canada, for so few people is
disastrously disappointing. I assume Easter has put everyone on hold - and
few realised that the Summit is this Sunday !
Even if you have never come to conferences before, we appeal to you to
boost our numbers - and be really inspired by Hellyer who is a fiery
speaker. Please spread the message any way you can.
I shall try and get onto as much radio talk-back to advertise as possible,
and others are recontacting their organisations.
If you can come - please ring David Cooper immediately on Ph : 9411 5891
and let him know for catering purposes. You can pay for registration at the
Summit at 8.45am.
In desperation
