President’s Message
November 2026 Update
Well, the Annual General Meeting is coming up on November 19th and with it, my time as interim President is drawing to a close. Our greatest challenge this year is in finding someone with accounting or financial skills to come on the Board as a Director at Large to begin learning the Treasurer’s job because John Wilson has only one year remaining in his term as Treasurer before he has to step down. Treasurer is a key role in the continued operation of the Centre so if you or someone you know can bring those skills, the nominating committee would love to hear about it. Also, if you’re considering a resolution, it should be submitted to the office soon for inclusion in the AGM notice and package.
Just a reminder folks that Wednesday November 11 is Remembrance Day and the office and the kitchen will be closed. Some activities may go ahead but the Centre is closed to general access. On the topic of Activities, there are some interesting new card games on offer this year. Euchre is returning and I understand that 5 Crowns is getting some play so check the Calendar and consider playing.
We were budgeting a shortfall of $24,645 for the end of September, but I was relieved to see our shortfall come in at $16,863. We are expecting a plumbing bill of approximately $6,000 that will land in October but even with that we should be in line with the budget.
Respectfully submitted – Bill Cuthill – President
