MMBCC AGM next week
With the recent easing of pandemic restrictions for regional Victoria, the MMBCC AGM is still planned for Wednesday 18 August at 7pm at the Mansfield Hotel.
If anything changes again, we’ll let you know here. (Make sure you’ve subscribed to the email newsletter so you find out straight away!)
On the night we need vote on members of the Executive Committee - in particular, we need a new President and a new Treasurer. Both Mauro Brega and Judi Duke have decided not to stand for nomination again. We also need to find some other committee members, chat about road racing, Dirt Crits, Junior Development, the Mansfield Tour, the Buller round of the Vic Downhill Series, Recreational Rides and hand out some Rider Development Grants.
Please have a think about what YOU can bring to the club; how YOU can help.
See you there!
GREAT NEWS FOR THE MMBCC - Community Bank Mansfield & District announce milestone Community Impact Program investment of $93,146
The Community Bank Mansfield & District have just announced their 2021 Community Impact Program funding recipients, investing a whopping $93,146 into the community.
Each year since establishment in 2007, the Community Bank Mansfield & District has invested in the community through an annual sponsorship program, funding over 90 different community groups, clubs and not-for-profit organisations, supporting an array of local projects, initiatives and events.
The annual sponsorship program has sought to be responsive to community needs, sponsoring projects and activities that offer clear public benefit to our community, contributing to development in community welfare, environmental, health, education and arts and cultural areas, right across the Mansfield Shire.
In 2021, The Community Bank Mansfield & District extended on this commitment with the introduction of their new Community Impact Strategy - underpinned by the commitment to investing in the growth of a resilient, sustainable, and thriving Mansfield & District community.
Renaming the annual sponsorship program, The Community Impact Program, the 2021 community investment was guided by the Community Impact Strategy - aiming to be nimble enough to meet the most pressing community needs in the short term, whilst addressing broader long term community projects. The strategy is founded around 5 Key Impact Pillars; Leadership, Opportunity & Innovation, Wellbeing, Collaboration & Connect, and Liveability.
Applications opened in April 2021, and the response to the program was overwhelming with over $480,000 worth of community funding requests received. Projects emphasising community connection and health and wellbeing presented a strong theme, with initiatives to impact across the region from Mansfield to Merton, Jamieson to Peppin Point and Merrijig.
Announcing a total investment of $93,146.83 to be shared amongst 12 different community groups, clubs and not-for-profit organisations, the Community Bank Mansfield & District is thrilled to be able to provide this much needed community investment.
Chairman of the Board David Mayne explains…“Community banking is based on a ‘profit-with-purpose’ model, which means profits are reinvested back into the community that has generated them. It is thanks to the Mansfield & District community that bank with us, that enables us to provide this sponsorship.”
