CV Photo updates - something fresh
As per Thurs memo - please - check your CV photo - if it is older than two years - time for an update. Christian Today says your image is important. I change mine regularly. The current photo is from April. We are asking nothing more as any other publisher.
There is now another option - should you be an award winner ('20, '21) - CT Editor is allowing your cropped award photo with Russell Modlin as your CV pic. The photo will be reduced - yet very effective and powerful.

Our comings and goings
Delma - Tweed Heads - lockdown was cut - Delma was able to attend KYB (said everyone just wanted to talk [with masks] not being able to able to see each other for weeks). And Delma was able to attend her Frid lunch craft class, followed by some medicinal shopping. This week Delma has several appointments - our family does a 'family video call' from time to time and individuals do Facetime / video chat - with the grand children.
Mark - After 17 years in 1998 I undertook as Public Officer for Sports Chaplaincy: ATO Audit / Review - a PBI (Public Benevolent Institution - tax deductible) - we got thumbs up. A year later 1999 - I worked through the ATO auditor with their processes to also see Well-Being Australia - as approved as a PBI.
2012 ATO saw all charities moved across to the ACNC - (Australian Charities Not-For-Profit Commission).
As you're aware from this space previously - as Public Officer of Well-Being Australia - I underwent for WBA a full ACNC audit / review - over the last few months - oodles of paper work (red tape) - this was exhaustive and emotionally draining - including a 50 min phone interview - providing WBA illustrations of benevolence.
* a letter Frid afternoon - WBA remains approved as a PBI
17 years to 1st audit / review (Sports Chaplaincy) / 22 years later to 2nd audit / review (WBA)
As I am 2 months off 70 - next Audit - someone else will inevitably carry the weight ..... a happy day I'm sure
Shirlene Bennett our accountant of 40 years - great help in audit / review - Shirlene updates our ACNC portel
"Well done Mark, it was worth the time you put in".
ACNC latest newsletter - quote from the report -
.... charities generated $166 billion in total revenue, including $11.8 billion in donations and bequests. Millions of volunteers helped charities deliver their programs .....
This is massive. I am told, small PBIs are on the agenda for audits / reviews. Consider this annual amount - maybe around a third is returned to tax payer donors (tax deductible). That is 2 submarines.
