At the recent PDCA Annual General Meeting the following people were elected:
| President | Jamie Oliver |
| 1st Vice President | Sarah Swan |
| Treasurer | Wilfred Karnoll |
| Secretary | Michele Bird |
| Committee Member | Lynn Hyland |
We welcome Sarah as a new member to the Committee (and to Paluma) and look forward to her contributions and perspectives on how we can ensure Paluma lives up to, and enhances, its reputation as a key destination for locals and interstate/overseas visitors, and as a small patch of paradise for those of us who are residents.
The position of 2nd Vice President is currently vacant (it is an optional position) but we are keen to fill it if there is someone who is interested in getting involved with the PDCA. Please contact Michele or anyone above it you would like further information.
Colwyn Campbell and Juanita Poletto decided not to seek re-election this year in order to concentrate on other work. The meeting thanked both outgoing members for their contributions on the Committee. Colwyn in particular has been on the committee as Vice President or Treasurer. Her calm and considered voice on key matters during Exec meetings will be missed. Colwyn will continue to play a key role in the History Project as well as maintaining her important contributions to the Web site and Turkey Talk (as editor). Juanita was also thanked for her work in securing new first aid kits for the hall and in conducting a review of the Royal Flying Doctor medical kit arrangements (which remains at Ivy Cottage under the stewardship of Ian Marshall).
The full minutes of the AGM and General Meeting will be published shortly in the members section of the website.
