Message from the President:

 

Well, summer is winding to a close. I hope it was a great one for all of you. We certainly had amazing weather out here on the islands.

 

The Annual General Meeting was a great success. Thanks once again to Glen Burney Marina for sponsoring that lovely buffet lunch. And thanks to Carol Topping for all her work organizing the lunch. We also have Carol to thank for collecting those wonderful raffle prizes this year. We raised over $400. Of course, we also have to thank Denys Reed for once again for his firm but velvet hand in selling the raffle tickets.

 

We have had some changes in our executive membership. Ed Pintwala has stepped down as treasurer.  I would like to take a moment and thank Ed for his contribution to the SCA. He is a very busy person, but still managed to donate his time to the SCA.

 

We now have two new executive members: Lianne Black has volunteered to take on the position of Treasurer. Liane is a long time member of the SCA and we look forward to the contribution she will be able to make.

 

In addition, Lauren Hartt has volunteered to take on the position of Director at large. Lauren has grown up spending her summers on the South Channel and will be a welcome addition.

 

Geographical Note:  If you would like to join the executive, but have held back because you don’t think you are “available”, take note of where our current executive are located: Stan Topping lives in New York State, Ralph Smith lives in Massachusetts, Lauren Hartt lives in B.C., Claudette Pintwala’s cottage isn’t even in the South Channel. and Liane Black spends her winters in Florida. It is great what you can accomplish being in touch via e-mail and teleconference. So, put your hand up. We would love to have you join us.

 

Tracy Biggar

President
