We were also joined by Chris Wilkins to promote the Caring Memories Life Book and Alzheimer Scotland’s Information Manager Maureen Thom with a range of information for members to take away.
Business and presentations from the AGM:
- Change to Constitution and election of Committee 2008-9
There would now be 18 Committee members instead of 15 and 4 co-opted members instead of 3. This was good news as it meant that the 18 people who wanted to be Committee Members were automatically elected. - James McKillop stands down as Chair and Committee Member
