Dear Members,

In accordance with the government’s Covid19 Alert System, which has seen the alert level status change since our last newsletter, we are unable to hold our AGM this month.

The rules state: Alert Level 2 advice for groups, clubs and societies Community groups, clubs and societies can gather for eventsat Alert Level 2 if:

• you have no more than 10 people at any one gathering

• you keep high hygiene standards

• you record attendees to ensure contact tracing can beconducted if necessary.

So based on the directives from the NZ Government Covid-19 Office and advice from the NZ IncorporatedSocieties Office, we advise that:

• The Croatian Cultural Society AGM is postponed until weare permitted to hold it based on Covid-19 rules;

• The current Executive Committee will continue to operateuntil the AGM is allowed to take place;

• Notice of the new AGM date will be given as soon as weare permitted to and in accordance with the Society rulesregarding 28 days notice.

The Incorporated Societies regime has allowances forpostponement of AGMs and filing financial statements duringthe Covid-19 Level lockdown so we won’t be penalised for this.

From the Executive Committee of the Croatian Cultural Society
