President’s Message
October 2026 Update
If you’re interested in the future of the Centre JOIN OUR TEAM and help us chart the path forward over the next two years. As it stands, we have only identified three possible candidates to fill the seven open positions and without a fully functional Board, the Centre’s operation is jeopardised. And that’s unfortunate because the future looks promising. Although we will likely post a $25,000 deficit this year we have done close to $90,000 of big ticket non-recurring improvements (three new furnaces/AC, hot water system and plumbing upgrades and Bingo machine) so we enter next year in great shape building wise and despite the deficit we’re still in good shape financially. Our activities calendar is essentially full, rentals are going well and our members are stepping up to volunteer where needed – except for Board positions. If you have secretarial, financial, mechanical or administrative skills, we need you and the time commitment is not huge.
Congratulations to our table tennis club for their exceptional performance at the 55+ BC Games in Kamloops. I would say that they turned in a sterling performance but in truth, it was pure gold. We’d also like to thank them for providing clean-up services after Bingo.
It’s great to see all of our volunteers back at it this fall. The kitchen crew did a terrific job on the first Pancake Breakfast of the season and although the attendance was somewhat disappointing, it was a hit among the smart ones that turned out. Watch the calendar, check the menus and come in for the best full meal deal in town. We do it for you so skip the dishes and enjoy an outstanding home cooked meal with dessert at the Centre.
