President’s Message
This month we will be
celebrating Earth Day on April 24th. Activities get
underway at the Port Union Recreation Centre at 10 A.M. This is the one
day of the year set aside to do something in our community for the
environment. The main activities will be cleaning up the areas where
debris and garbage have collected over the winter. There will be
conservation and environmental displays at the Rec. Centre. This is an
event for all members of your family so plan to attend and pitch in to
make our community clean and environmentally friendly.
Don’t forget high school
students have until April 26 at 9:30 p.m. to submit their
applications for our $ 1000 William A. Dempsey scholarship. Details and
the application for the scholarship are contained on our web site.
You may have noticed a
slight change in the layout of last month’s newsletter. Ron Paisley our
incoming Communications Chair assembled the March newsletter. This is
the first step in transferring the preparation of the newsletter from
our present Communications Chair Patricia Cruickshank to Ron. As of
June this year Patricia will relinquish her duties as Communications
Chair as she will be moving out of our community.
On March 27th
we held our “Beer Tasting Evening” Thanks to all who attended to make
this evening a huge success. Special thanks also to Events Chair
Heather Lemieux for all her efforts and hard work in organizing this
event.
Next month we will be
launching our annual membership campaign. Membership Chair Betty Karsh
is busy organizing this year’s campaign. There is a list in this
newsletter of streets requiring canvassers. Please consider
volunteering to be a canvasser, this is our only fund raising event for
the year.
