"RENEW AND REVIVE – ONE POSITIVE STEP FORWARD"
Latest Conference News
Conference 2008 is at an exciting new venue – a venue
with a difference in an area laden with the history of early Australian
settlement. The Macarthur Region has become known as Sydney’s "Living
Heritage" precinct, being home to an impressive number of heritage listed
buildings, sites and pioneer cemeteries. There are Aboriginal heritage
items, buildings dating back to the early 1800s, and fascinating museums.
Geographically, Campbelltown is one hour's drive
south-west of Sydney, with easy access by motorways, and is only 45
minutes by train direct from Sydney Airport. The venue, the Campbelltown
Catholic Club, is set in pleasant surroundings with free parking facilities
for 700 cars. The venue’s entrance makes a lasting impression, with a foyer
featuring hand crafted Terrazzo floors and rich finishes. The grand
staircase leads up to the three conference rooms with modern audiovisual
equipment installed and other bonus facilities for our use. As well, there
are five star facilities including a variety of cafes and bars for you to
relax in during conference.
Accommodation will be available at the newly opened
Rydges Hotel, connected by covered walkway to the venue. Details of the cost
will be sent to members individually. Take another positive step forward
now, by making the decision to be part of conference in Campbelltown on 16th,
17th and 18th May 2008. To enjoy all that conference
in Campbelltown 2008 will offer, good value, a variety of education and

"This will be an
historic event, the first POWERtalk International
Australian Region Conference. The venue is particularly
appropriate as Campbelltown was the first colonial
settlement outside of Sydney.
The programme is varied and with
concurrent sessions members have a wide choice of
education. Some will be ITC related while others are
more general in nature.
Presenters

Councils represented
The
International visitor is Kazuko Izumi, a member of Japan
Region and members are encouraged to speak to Kazuko and
share with her some Australian hospitality. Those
members who were at convention in Brisbane may have met
her there when she was installed as Div 1V
Vice-President.
Conference is
also an opportunity to renew friendships and to be
enthused for the year ahead.
