Monthly coffee and special event at upcoming AGM<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last Wednesday this month is March 25,\u00a02026 and in keeping with branch tradition\u00a0the\u00a0coffee party\u00a0starts at 10:05 a.m. and runs until 11:05 a.m. at the\u00a0Orchard Park Mall,\u00a02271 Harvey Ave.<\/p>\n

As well, plans are underway to have a special event in conjunction with the branch annual general meeting (AGM) on Friday, April 10, 2026.<\/p>\n

Once again, keep in mind that branch bylaws prohibit nominations from the floor at the AGM. Therefore, you need not worry that you will be pressured into accepting a board position if you attend. However, to keep our branch vibrant, responsive and \u201cmaking a difference\u201d does require members to volunteer. If you have any interest, members of the current\u00a0team\u00a0would be happy to share their insights with you.<\/p>\n

Add the event to your calendar and plan to attend!<\/p>\n

Branch management team opportunity<\/h3>\n

The Central Okanagan Branch, your branch is always looking for members to join one of our branch teams; members who want to continue using their life learned skills or those wishing to try a new challenge. However, this time, due to a planned resignation, we need a member to take on a specific role and join our finance management team as branch treasurer.<\/p>\n

You do not need to be a trained accountant, but you do need to feel comfortable with a computer.<\/p>\n

Other board members are very familiar with the position and are more than willing to mentor and assist.<\/p>\n

If you can spare two to three\u00a0hours a month, we would very much like to hear from you. If you want added information or have questions, please contact Daniela Evans, branch president at 1-778-875-3868 or myself at
\n1-250-317-4446, we will gladly oblige.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Guy Bird\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice president, Central Okanagan Branch<\/p>\n
