Bi-NSW and its funds

Folks,

Bi-NSW Inc is a formal entity representing the Bi community that has been around for quite a few years and was created from the informal groups that preceded it. Most notably Bi-NSW has been the organisation behind the successful Biversity parties. Profits from those parties have funded various different Bi awareness activities.

In the last few years Bi-NSW has effectively had no volunteers running it and its fund raising and fund spending activities have ceased to happen.

Within the next few months I'll be leaving Sydney and therefore will no longer be able to be the public officer of the organisation. Unless a committee forms and takes on the formal admin I will have to notify the NSW authorities of the group's closure.

Maybe not such a big deal events wise - the few informal activities can continue to happen.

But.... the group has approx $2,000 in its bank accounts and that money legally must either be spent on group related activities before the group closes, or the money must be distributed to another non-profit organisation.

So if you have ideas for how to spend that $2K on Bi related activities, promotions, events,.... NOW is the time to kick into gear!!

Feel free to reply to respective email lists or groups if you have ideas. If you haven't already found it, you might like to join the "Bisexual Sydney" Facebook group to participate in discussions.
