Spring
has finally arrived and with it comes our annual membership drive.
Membership chair Betty Karsh has been busy organizing this year’s
campaign. This year we will not be canvassing door to door as it is
becoming more and more difficult to engage canvassers. Instead there is
detailed information in this month’s newsletter detailing how you can
obtain your membership. This is our only fundraising event for the year
so please support your community association and purchase your annual
membership. Your membership fees allow us to continue to support
community events such as Winterfest, Earth Day, Heritage Day and the
Summer Concert Series. Without this financial support, some of these
events would not be possible. Details on how to purchase your membership
are on our web site at
www.ccranews.com . PLEASE PURCHASE YOUR MEMBERSHIP NOW and help
support your community association.
At our
April executive meeting Barbara Broadley of 2nd Highland Creek Scouting
presented the Association with a thank you certificate recognizing our
support and contribution towards their Kar Rally Day held in February.
This is now in the CCRA display case at Port Union CRC with other CCRA
memorabilia.
Earth
Day was celebrated on Saturday April 20th. Thanks to the
committee of volunteers that organizes this event and, thanks to all the
residents who came out to participate in cleaning up our community. It
amazing how much garbage can accumulate in our community over a winter.
Looking
ahead to next month, Highland Creek Heritage Day will be held Saturday
June 8th at the Lash Miller house in Morningside Park. As
indicated earlier the Highland Creek Heritage Day festival is cancelled
and will be combined with the 100th anniversary celebrations of
the University of Toronto being held on June 9th. This is an all day
community event for the whole family so mark the date on your calendars
now. As we get more information we will post it on our website.
