Extracts from our second newsletter - December 1991

PRESIDENTS REPORT
Bill Granoukos

Most of our committees have been formed for the coming year and are working very hard.  These committees will probably be coming to you to ask for a hand so please pitch in.  Membership is something we must all take part in.  We should all set ourselves a goal of introducing at least one family to our club before the next general meeting.  I mean talk to them, invite them to our meeting, introduce them to our members and make them feel welcome.  Don't pressure them to sign up if they first wish to see what the club is all about.  We can do it!!  I'm pleased to announce our club now has liability insurance in amount of One Million Dollars covering the members effective December 1, 1991.  More on this at the next meeting.  We are gonna be in the New Year before we know it and I'm told that our committees have some very exciting things coming up for the club members in 1992.  If you have any ideas you would like to put forward between meetings please call any executive member.  You know it's not too early to think about our Fall Fair and what you are gonna display.  It is my hope that every club member will put in a display even if it's only one item.  Also are we gonna have a display and membership table at Comox Nautical Days, Cumberland 24th of May, Courtenay July 1st, Cambell River Salmon Festival.  Are we gonna travel to Duncan, Saanich, The Mainland, Lynden Washington??  Lots of things to dream about waiting for spring.  Well I guess I better stop rembling and wish all the Best of the Festive Season and Happy New Year.
 



The past month has been busy with the formal formation of the club.  At our first meeing Nov. 3/91, it was decided the club would be officially known as Glacier Power AND Equipment Club.
At the first meeting ten family memberships were paid with several people calling during the meeting to apoligize for their absence, and expressing their interest.  a great start for a great future for our club.
Wishing you each and everyone a safe and MERRY CHRISTMAS, and may SANTA bring you something that goes putt, putt.
Rumor has it Santa has a line on a Wee McGregor drag saw for under our tree.

VICE. PRESIDENT
 

FELLOW FAMILY MEMBERS

Just wanting to wish everyone a MERRY CRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.  Our membership cards are underway and you should receive them soon.  Hoping to have anyone who can spare the time to attend the meeting on January 12/92 at the HALBY HALL in Black Creek at 1:30PM.

We will draw the tickets for the COVENTRY MOTOR at that meeting, so you still have time to get your tickets there.

MICHELE MORTON and PAT WOOD have made up an agenda for the coming year, and it sure does look to be exciting to me.  Thank you ladies and everyone else who may have been involved.  I will enclose a copy for everyone to have a view.
