ANNUAL REPORT 20<strong>10</strong>/2011<br />
Community Events/Health Promotion Programs<br />
<strong>WAMS</strong> promote their businesses across many mediums, eg the web page – walgettams.com.au,<br />
‘Messages on Hold’ the external phone message system, local fliers for particular events, and sponsor<br />
radio 2WEB at Bourke. Various methods of advertising offers a formal and informal information flow<br />
our clients and the community to access all levels of activity conducted by <strong>WAMS</strong>. The seasonal<br />
newsletter, Profile of Services which summarises programs conducted with identified staff positions<br />
is disseminated to local agencies and relevant visitors.<br />
Staff are involved in health and community development programs within Walgett and their service<br />
area, with a primary role in supporting the programs conducted in the local schools. Health promotion<br />
events were held in recognition of national and state ‘Days’ of importance. Staff conducted activities,<br />
and they also participated with other agencies that had events held in order to maximise resources.<br />

Closing Comments<br />
I believe that <strong>WAMS</strong> is a beacon of light in our rural area, and a legacy for Walgett. A quarter of a<br />
century, a period of growth from childhood to adulthood. A period of time with teething problems,<br />
understanding the purpose of the business and the commitment to the clients and the communities<br />
we serve.<br />

tough. <strong>WAMS</strong> – welcoming, achieving, managing, striving.<br />
