Our AGM is the end of one paddling year for the club, and the real start of the next paddling year. We socialize, we have our annual reports, authorize a budget for the next year, approve auditors, and elect officers for the next year or two... and socialize some more. Last year we initiated a club photo contest for our members, and attending members get to help select the winners! We encourage club members to check out our executive duties, and if willing and available, volunteer to take on a role. Please drop me (or any of the executive) a note if you want more info' or would like to "stand" <president@ceyana.ca>.
As with most of our indoor socials we encourage pot-luck desserts... please bring along something sweet to share, and your own mug for the drinks provided, and a plate or bowel and spoon to sample all the fine offerings.
