Members’ Letter
Dear Member,

Overleaf you will find our December 2013 schedule for Gateway.

Amnesty International: Amnesty is at the moment designing a course for people who work in the area of mental health
around human rights and mental health and they need our help to make it work as users of the mental health services.
They will have a focus meeting in Gateway on the 16th of January 2013 from 4.00pm to 6.00pm – all members welcome.

Posting of Newsletter 2013: Every month we post out the newsletter, schedule and member’s to about 80 members –
unfortunately budget will be tighter next year and we need to be kinder to the environment. From January 2013 - you will
be able to find the newsletter, schedule and member’s letter in four places:-
        In drop-in at the start of the month and all throughout the month (During drop-in hours Monday&Thursday).
        In the Rathmines Pembroke Community Partnership 11 Wynnefield Road, Rathmines (five days a week during
        office hours).
        Online on www.projectgateway.blogspot.com
        In your email – if you give us your email address we will send it directly to you.
If someone cannot get the information any of these ways, please let us know and we can do a small post out.
