Stephen Lockhart spoke about the impact of security, malware and links in emails to potential viruses. To minimise this risk we are considering external hosting by Logic+. There was also discussion about uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to our telephone system and to LeeCare if we chose to continue with the in-house server. There is considerable costs associated with this project as well as maintaining our ongoing relationship with Logic+.

Ljubica Vukoje and Myriam Freer from Pennwood Home Care gave a presentation about the strategic model of running Home Care Packages since March 2014. Pennwood Home Care commenced using their new electronic Home Care Package program through e-Tools in July 2015, this has made a huge difference in regards to running these packages on a CDC basis. The Home Care team also presented their plan for Human Resources and Marketing in light of the changes happening in Feb 2017.

Krzysztof Tomaszczyk our maintenance supervisor discussed energy saving strategies, going green with solar, updating our water sprinkler system and bore water. Bore would need to be drilled down to 100m to a T1 level which should be adequate, a new pump should cost $28K and we have to purchase a quota of water at $10K – total of $38K investment which would last up to 20 years. Krzysztof also demonstrated easy to use remote for client’s air conditioners and TVs.

Pennwood would like to acknowledge Brian Sellers and his wife for preparing the beautiful seafood and cold cut meat platters, which were enjoyed by all during our lunch break.
