Report on AGM May 27, 2014

The discussion at the AGM was very interesting, with many great suggestions for where the Friends of McIntyre Creek should be heading, and things that might spark more involvement with the group and park planning.

Sadly, our very active, and helpful board member, John Carney has left the Yukon, leaving a vacancy for the Vice President position, which was filled again by Gerry Steers, the previous VP.  Dorothy Bradley continued as President.  However, we are desperately short of people to fill both the Secretary and the Treasurer roles.  If anyone would like to step in to assist, please contact us.

The remaining Board members remain as last year with Jeff Marynowski, Celeste Sundquist- Bendall, Michael Bendall, Cathy Deacon and Al von Finster.

The Board members proudly showed the attending members the first place Water Stewardship Award won 2013, along with the  certificate placing the Friends of McIntyre Creek in second place for the year 2012.

All members are reminded that memberships expire March 31 or April 1 of every year.  If you have not renewed your membership this, please do so now.  You can download a membership form from the website http://friendsofmcintyrecreek.org

We look forward to your continued support, and hope there are some members who would like to step in and help us fill the two vacant Board positions.  The Board meets once a month, and there are a variety of treats provided by various members to make the meetings more enjoyable.  The photos below are a sample of the delicacies we enjoy, and which were provided for the AGM by Celeste Sundquist-Bendall.
