A MESSAGE FROM YOUR CONVENOR
Well ladies this is our final day for this year. It is great to see so many of you out to join us for this year’s closing games and our closing social. I hope you have all enjoyed the year, made some new friends and learned some new skills.
A big thank you to the Lois MacLauchlan Team who ran out opening Dips and Drinks and to the following ladies who have put on this event tonite – Jeannette Briggs, Norma Discenza, Jodi Ball, Carolynn McCarney-Perkins, Robin Garell, Virginia McKinnon, Kathy Moodie and Clair Mackenzie. Also would like to mention, that they are responsible for making most of the items we are enjoying tonight themselves. Thank you Ladies.
Looking forward to next year, we are pleased to announce that team Judy Kerling have stepped up to run our opening dips & drinks social that will be held on Oct 8. Thanks to them. So we just need some others to step up and volunteer to help with our next season closing social event. For the closing, it will be up to the teams/individuals who volunteer as to whether we have a banquet or just appetizers for the closing like we are having tonite. Please let me know if you can help us out.
Please make a note in your calendars that the club’s AGM will be held tentatively on Wed June 25th. I encourage you all to come out to find out what is happening at the club. If you have any comments you would like to bring up, you can either let Sheri or me know and Sheri will bring up at the board or come to the AGM to bring them up in front of the membership. Also I would encourage you all to take the club’s survey that was sent out to you last week.
Also, registration for the 2025/25 season will be opening in early June and the deadline will be early Sept. I encourage all members to register as soon as possible, to ensure your spot and to help me know who is returning, as we already have a few new teams that are looking to join us – you can also let me know directly as to whether you are or are not returning for next year. Check out the registration page for the payment options available. Please continue to check the club web site for information on clinics, options for play in the summer league, accomplishments for members, etc.
I would also like to extend a thank you to all of our spares, and hope some of them are here today. I would ask them to stand so we can all give you a big thank you, because without you the league would not be able to function.
We should also extend our many thanks to our General Manager Ian Tetley and our Assistant General Manager Casey Base. Without them things would not run nearly as smoothly. They work hard behind the scenes, but they should know their work does not go unnoticed. And of course a big thank you to Scott and his team for our great ice conditions throughout the year. And of course our bartenders – Lisa, Joanne, Nancy, Brigid, and Iain.
I would like thank Sheri for being our Board Rep this year and for all the extra work she has put in to make our year a little more fun. Thank you Sheri.
I would also like to thank Cheryl Maloney for being our Treasurer. She keeps her eyes on the funds that pay for our prizes and funds for our 2 social events as well as the other miscellaneous expenses we incur over the year. At the conclusion of tonite we will be handing over this job to the club. We had at one time a full executive to run our league, bonspiel, fund raising and such, but now there is just the league, so at the request of the board and the board treasurer, we are handing this over to them. Cheryl has been our league treasurer for 13 years, so as she departs we would like to really thank her for her work and would like to present her with a small gift to show our appreciation… This print is done by Martin Terry, who is the husband of our member KJ Terry, is a Saulteaux Ojibwe self-taught Canadian Artist. He is a sixties scoop survivor who lost his culture and language. He spent his youth in foster homes and group homes until he was adopted at age 14. In 2022 he decided to reclaim his cultural past, and started producing these wonderful pieces. The Art piece on the wall in the ice rink is also done by Martin.
Next year Sheri Wasik will continue to be our Board Rep and I will once again be your Convenor. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.
Hope you have all enjoyed this evening and the year, have a great summer and see you all in the fall.
Evelyn
