The Fall General Members Meeting took place on October 26th, with over 50 people in attendance.
The appointment of Past-President Douglas Smith and Richard Ward to the board to fill the spaces left by Tony Stroud and Maureen Parker was approved by the membership. The AGM has been set for Wednesday March 8th at 1:30. Mark your calendars.
The motion passed at the General Meeting in August 2021 to require double vaccinations, masks and memberships for being in the building was lifted and the board is responsible for ensuring that the provincial health requirements are met and to impose stricter requirements as deemed necessary to reduce risks to our members. The board will meet on the first Wednesday of November to discuss this further.
The preliminary budget was prepared and presented by our Treasurer, Alison Kowalewski.
The members present had good input and suggestions and clearly want to help keep the Centre viable and safe. We have so much talent and energy here, it is what keeps us going! Emily’s delicious cookies always help as well.
There are even more activities starting up in November. Dance Rhythms with Louise Parker on Wednesday morning to move with the music, Badminton on Friday mornings, and the Friendship Tea on the second Tuesday of the Month is back! This is a free tea organized once again by member Sharon Blanchette and crew.
The Halloween Hoedown was the first Centre dance in a very long time! On November 26th, Blue Western band will be here for another fun dance. On December 10th, Kilbirnie Station will be presenting a ceilidh style concert. Thanks to Jay Alexov and Collene Sand and their crew for all your hard work to get the Centre hopping again.
As if that wasn’t enough fun, Bingo will hopefully be starting in January. Richard Ward is working out all the licensing and logistical details and the interest shown so far is wonderful.
There is always plenty going on and thanks to our members and volunteers, the Centre is starting to thrive once again.
