The RRCC proposes to hold a Resource dinner on the 2nd October 2008.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT FOR EVENTS WORKSHOP
Western Australia’s vast road network provides the opportunity for organisations and community groups to stage events on roads for the benefit of the public at large. Such events need to be managed in a way that ensures safety for all involved, and minimises disruptions to the normal daily usage and function of our road network.
Esperance Volunteer Resource Centre is seeking expressions of interest for “Traffic Management for Events” course. We would like to offer this course to community groups at a very low cost, hopefully free. Many groups now require applying the “Traffic Management For Events” Code of Practice during some of their community events. Some examples of these groups would be: Running club, Tri Club, Cycling Club, Christmas pageant, Parades and many more.The course would be in Esperance and could be on a weekend to suit volunteers. Main Roads WA has accredited providers from Perth and we would use one of them. At this stage we are seeking interest from the Esperance and surrounding Communities.
All organisations and individuals associated with event management on or near roads are encouraged to let us know if they would benefit from this course or please forward this email to an organisation that would.

Experience the Power of the MasterMind!
A Unique Opportunity for Personal & Business Development
A 10-Week Study Specifically for Business Leaders
If you had the opportunity to study the thinking of one of the master thinkers alive today would you take it?
If that very same opportunity allowed you to share ideas, goals, challenges and
develop potential profitable relationships with like-minded business leaders, would you take it?
During this dynamic, FREE 10-week study, you will learn how to apply to your life and business with the foundational principles of Bob Proctor’s number one selling book, “You Were Born Rich!”
This ten-week, in depth study will afford you the opportunity to join forces and
mastermind with a unique group of like-minded individuals who are focused on taking the results, in every area of their life, to a new level.
Together, you will learn how to achieve your goals by understanding your relationship with money, how much is enough, the image-maker, how to let go and let God, how to expect an abundance, the law of vibration and attraction, the risk-takers, the razor’s edge, how to not think in reverse, and the vacuum law of prosperity as taught by Bob Proctor himself.
The results will astound you as you watch the lives and businesses of your MasterMind group improve from one week to the next.
“Change is constant and inevitable, but personal growth is a choice.” Bob Proctor
