Ladies,
I look forward to seeing you Monday evening!
You will have an opportunity to exercise your voting privileges on the amendments to the resolutions (please see the April Newsletter) and on the following motions:
1. “To approve a move to the Banquet Hall at the St. Joseph’s Ukrainian Church for 2013-2014 at no additional cost to the club;” and
2. “The ten dollar ($10.00) per capita CFUW National membership dues increase for 2013-2014 will be paid from cash on hand from the club’s operating budget for one year only.”
With respect to the first motion of changing venues for 2013 and 2014, please be advised that the Operating Engineers Hall will be undergoing renovations in the near future and, at this time, the hall is unable to book any dates for us in 2014. Thus the need to relocate for the year.
Monday also will be an evening highlighted by a notable guest speaker, books for sale, and tickets for sale! We will have available for your convenience tickets to the Spring Bridge and Games Luncheon (not too late to buy a table or a seat!), and our AGM to be held on Monday, May 6 at the Harbour Banquet Centre!
Thanking you in advance for your continued generous spirit and participation!
Sandy Thomson
President
