BILLBOARD
ELECTIONS and AGMs
It is that time of the year again and PWP will work only with involvement from the members.
As a minimum, you need to turn up at your AGM to vote.
We need a minimum number (quorum) at your AGM in order to elect your committee.
Don’t assume someone else will do it - that is a recipe for failure !
The alternative is that your Branch has to be administered by State Management Committee which is not in anyone’s interest.
Please consider also how you could make a contribution to your committee.
Remember PWP is a self-help body where nothing “just happens”

Parenting: Single Parent Dating
KFOXtv.com - Nov 28 2005 Dating as a teenager was tough enough, but imagine doing it the second time with kids in the picture. That is what is happening in many homes today, as single moms and dads are raising more than 20 million children. So, how do dating and kids mix? More than one-third of American kids are being raised by single parents, many of whom are searching for meaningful relationships the second time around.

FREE and takes seconds to install
Requires Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP 3+
(Everything promoted here, I either use or have tried myself and can recommend)
Computer Problems ?……….Hardware failure?
Computer running slowly?…Don’t understand your software?
Internet problems?…………..Don’t know what to do next?
