MITCHELL COMMUNITY GROUPS NEED TO GET TOGETHER

Below is a copy of a letter we are sending to all community groups that have been involved in the Mitchell recovery. This is not a whole community event, we are asking that a representative of each organisation attends so that they can share information and continue to work together towards a positive future for Mitchell and the surrounding towns.  If you have any concerns, or an interest in any of the groups listed and would like those representatives attending to raise an issue on your behalf, please contact the relevant organisation you belong to and they can bring your concerns to the meeting. 
We believe Council has advised that it will have a whole community meeting some time in the future.
