Thank you Brisbane City Council

Thank you Brisbane City Council for our recent grant

On 15 March 2013 the Office of the Lord Mayor supported our not-for-profit organisation, City North Little Athletics, with a community and sports clubs grant of $704.50.
 
During this round council awarded a total of $1,451,698.35 to organisations like ours.
 
Our club used these funds to assist our volunteers in the following ways.
 
1. The purchase of a new notebook for our treasurer.
2. The purchase of equipment to assist with data entry of personal bests and other results. This included the purchase of the equipment and its installation.  The following items were purchased with the assistance of these funds.
            a). The purchase of a trolley to move the equipment around,
            b). The purchase of a wireless / network switch and related items,
            c). The purchase of a 12V to 240V Inverter, Heavy Duty battery and a Battery charger, and
            d). The purchase of a network license for our Team Manager software.
 
By receiving this grant our club has been able to allocate the grant money along with its own funds to get this project completed. We now have the ability to have up to 3 computer systems functional on the field and this provides a more timely way for our volunteers to enter data, saving them having to enter some of it after the event has finished. Anything that saves our volunteers time is always appreciated.  
 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lord Mayor and Brisbane City Council for providing the grant and for assisting us in this endeavour.
 
Regards
