Dear Members,

Welcome to the ALLA (WA) News Blog!

Late last year we decided to do away with the traditional ALLA (WA) Newsletter and replace it with a funky new blog. Whilst updates have been few and far between so far, the Committee is working hard to make this a hub of up-to-date information on events, initiatives and member news. I would encourage all members to subscribe to the Blog and to check in regularly to see the updates and new information – and to contribute whenever you can!

2011 has proven to be an exciting year all round – with many great events and the passing of the National Model at the ACTioning the Law Conference in Canberra in September. We still have some exciting events to look forward to – a Post-Conference Breakfast and our Christmas Party at the lovely Rubix on November 30th – remember to save that date as we want to see as many of you there as possible!
That’s all for now – blog you later!

Kirsty McPhee
ALLA(WA) President 2011/2012
