Thierry Perret, president of the association, was to thank the elected officials for the subsidies granted and the material aid, including the free availability of the hall of the Agora and the Forum. “Nothing more normal, assured the mayor of Commentry, you are not a banal association, you participate in saving lives”.
We also thanked the volunteers who have devoted themselves so much to the service of donors for the respect of barrier gestures.
The president also set the 2023 objectives: six collections with improved snacks in December, participation in the Christmas market, the flea market, with the holding of information stands which had been very promising in 2022. “It will also be a question of participating in the regional congress of the 1 is
April and to resume information interventions in schools, colleges, high schools and driving schools. The association will be present at public events in Commentry”.
Treasurer Olivier Chambard presented a financial report approved by the auditors. The main expenses were mainly attributed to snacks offered to donors, free raffle prizes, the purchase of kitchen equipment and gadgets to distribute. For the recipes, a donation from the Gouteyron family, income from the Christmas market, grants from town halls and the EFS were put forward.
Secretary Catherine Pozzati gave an overview of activities, noting that the association was well represented at departmental and regional levels. Meetings at the departmental union of Moulins, attendance at general meetings of neighboring associations and six collections were carried out in 2022, plus a transport of four people by shuttle to Moulins for plasma donations.
