General Meeting at May Rally

Hello everyone,

At the May Rally there will be a General Meeting and election of officers. According to our Constitution, a person can only serve two consecutive terms in office so the encumbants are no longer eligible to be re-elected into the following positions:

Treasurer
National Director
2 Directors

The encumbants in the following positions have only served one term and are eligible to be relected, unless someone else wants to run instead:

Secretary (Stella Blogg)
Director (Joe Blogg)

If anyone is interested in running for office in any of these positions, please contact me or Andy Balogh (akcbalogh@telus.net).

Also, if you are planning on attending the General Meeting and have any items you wish to include on the agenda, please contact me or Andy as soonas possible.

A detailed schedule for the Rally will be emailed within the next few days to all the people who have registered.

Cheers!
Stella Blogg,
Secretary,
Vancouver Islanders.
