Presidents Letter – Summer 2018

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Sitting on the deck this past weekend with my daughter and her fiancé, I realized that summer is really here. The water was a “balmy” 21 degrees. I thought I might have a swim but once the temperature reached 28 degrees, I knew it was definitely going to happen.  It was lovely and we all continued to swim every day.

This newsletter will give you the information you need on what WCA has planned for the summer and some of the work we have been doing during the off season.

Your AGM will be held on July 22nd at the Carling council chambers. We will have an update from the municipality on what has been happening this past year.  Also, the Executive Director of the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation will tell us how we can keep our “hospital in cottage country” an amazing health care facility.

Increasing our membership has been a focus and I am pleased to let you know that we now have in place an associate membership category. Any member of a family residing at the same property as a full member can become an associate member.  This will allow our children and grandchildren to become aware of our organization and interest them in becoming full members. They will receive our email newsletter and have access to our website and receive the GBA Update three times a year.  I look forward to meeting some new associate members.

I look forward to seeing you at the AGM and our other events this summer. Please feel free to contact me anytime especially if you would like to volunteer.  We are currently looking for area reps to assist us in reaching all out potential members.

Wishing you all the best.  Have a happy and safe summer on the Bay!

Pam Wing
