As the Centre reopens we look forward with great anticipation and enthusiasm to “better days ahead.” Two years with the Pandemic has taken, and continues to take a toll on us all, mentally and physically. Nerves are frayed and patience is short.
One thing we can count on, spring is around the corner with warmer weather, and sunshine and fresh air in the future for all of us.
As your Interim Board prepares for the AGM we all need to think about the future of our Centre and what we want the future to be.
It is easy to sit back and let others do the work, and then criticize the decisions they make. It is easy to be an “armchair quarterback” and share an opinion, even if you don’t have the playbook.
There is no plan to operate your Centre as anything but the not-for-profit Society it has always been.
With the AGM fast approaching, there is a real need for people to step up. These are the people who will guide us in the next year with a balanced and even handed approach. No one activity should have more influence than others. For there to be a balanced Board, we need a balanced slate of candidates. Please, consider giving a few hours each week to this worthwhile and rewarding work.
Information regarding the duties of Directors is available. Don’t let fear of not doing it right stop you from doing anything at all. There is lots of help for new directors.
The AGM will be held on February 16. As I am hoping there will be lots of interest in the AGM we are planning 2 meetings. The first will be at 1:30 and the second at 3:30. Two meetings will allow more room for social distancing. Whichever meeting you attend you will have an opportunity ask questions and to vote for your new Board of Directors.
Thank you to those members that have already signed up to stand for election.
