Hello Everyone,

Our AGM was held on May 9th with a fairly meagre attendance – however, business will continue as always. Three directors resigned and the Board will consist of seven directors this year including myself, as President.

I will be away on extended travel over the summer as I spend my summer months in Atlantic Canada. The warm months are usually a busy time for everyone including myself.

The Board does not meet over the summer so I have little to report. I do hope that each of you will give some thought to nominating someone for the “volunteer of the year” award. The nomination forms are on the bulletin board in the reception area of Bowen Complex.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy summer season.Regards, Dolores Gottenberg
