Amicus Update 1

So, the first real post. Some bits and pieces to pass on:

(1) Many of you may know that the current Executive Officer (me! Rebecca) is leaving in early May. As I have to take my remaining holiday before I go, the office will be closed from 5 to 15 April, reopening on Monday 16th. You won't be able to leave voicemail during this time but can still send emails that will be dealt with on my return. Any emergencies should still be dealt with during the holiday though!

(2) We now have an Amicus group on Facebook for everyone (current /former students /or anyone in fact) to join.

(3) A new Casework Team leader is just about to take over which means that some new projects we've been looking at should now begin to take off. Anyone keen on casework should ensure they have sent in a form so they have your contact details (and remember you need to be a member to participate in casework)

(4) A Save the Date for you all: 13 November 2007. A special day for Amicus.

(5) You can now help Amicus by carrying out your searches using www.EveryClick.com - each search generates funds for us :-) Make sure you specify Amicus....

(6) Membership renewals have been sent out and anyone who hasn't received one should email us to ask for a form or download a new form off our website (any Student members from the previous 06-07 membership year, who didn't join Backpack to access the Journal, should email the office by the end of April to receive access to the previous year's Journals).

I think that's it for now.
