Message from the President

 

Spring is fast approaching, hope you all made it up to the cottage for at least one obligatory weekend this winter. Those who did, know that there was lots of snow. It may well mean another change in the water level this summer. But then again, since water level seems to be primarily a result of whims and dream interpretation, it may not.

 

The amalgamation issue continues. Rick Zanussi can provide a more comprehensive update, but suffice it to say that there has not been much progress. Which in our case is good news, and gives us all the more time to affect an amalgamation plan that we can live with.

 

Your executive will be trying something new this winter, meeting my teleconference. Teleconferencing allows us to be more inclusive of those members from far afield. So, for all you folks who were holding back on joining the executive because you were not sure you could make the meetings, so dissolves your last excuse.

 

We are in great need of people who can even just take on small responsibilities. Specifically, we could assistance in accomplishing the following tasks:

-          contacting local businesses and services regarding discounts for members.

-          Co-ordinating the SCA merchandise to be sold at the AGM.

-          Increasing our membership

-          co-ordinating fire pump system

 

Anyone wanting to submit articles to the newsletter is welcome to do so. Robin Argenta’s e mail address has changed, however. She can now be reached at robinleo@vaxxine.com

 

Hope you all have a great spring. We will see you on the bay after the thaw.

 

Tracy Biggar
