28th February 2008

Welcome to Catherine from National Office. Two visitors today 17 people present.
Speakers Libby and Catherine.
Libby told us of her purchase of a new printer to help her business. It will allow small runs to be done that commercial printers avoid. She can now offer small runs of 50 to 200. It is high-quality laser printing at a cheap price. She can also offer small batch printing from 10 upwards. The printer also has the capability to print banners, as well as being able to print on various media. She will be were to offer customers a fast turnaround.
Keep Libby in mind for your next small print run.
Catherine our national director told us of the changes that Leads Club members can expect. We will see her on a more regular basis. The 1800 number is operational. We will be able to contact her by e-mail. A new Australian Leads Club website is being set up. For financial members the website will be free.
Members warmly welcomed her contribution of 50% of the cost of our new business cards. Catherine advises that in taking over the role of national director that she is supported by her partner Richard who is good at paperwork side of the equation. Catherine will be reviewing invoicing and for introducing a new member to any club an existing member will receive one months free fees.
Catherine's vision is to increase membership to 1000. She does not see it as the individual clubs job to grow the club alone. We can expect mixers where all clubs meet in the future.
