Annual General Meeting
2022 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – SEPT. 21 AT 1:30
The Fenelon Falls Seniors’ Club is holding its annual general meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 1:30. All members are invited to attend and it is hoped that you can make it.
An organization like ours needs two key things to keep it going:
• Revenue
• Volunteers
Our fundraising campaign generated needed revenue which will address our financial needs for the upcoming year, however, our urgent need right now is volunteers to keep the building itself operational and the doors open.
Everything that needs to be done to keep the doors open is done by dedicated volunteers: board members, administration, communications, technology, membership, record keeping, banking, book keeping, grant writing, report writing, the website, facebook, rentals, event planning, activities, cleaning, building maintenance, lawn maintenance and anything else required. If we don’t have volunteers to commit to doing these many things, then the building cannot remain open.
A number of our long standing, and very much appreciated, board members and volunteers are not returning to their volunteer positions this coming year and we urgently need people to replace them. Becoming a board member is an excellent way of getting to know the organization and planning its future direction. Occasional help to run various individual events is always appreciated, but we need ongoing help to ensure the day-to-day things get done. Every effort is made to keep volunteer positions manageable for individuals and we work as a team.
If you are interested and able to commit to fulfilling any of the areas of need, even partnering with someone else to do so, please contact Rosemary at 705-887-6244 or rmccoleman@i-zoom.net and/or come out to the meeting on September 21 to discuss and plan how we can keep the doors open in the coming year.
Thank you for giving this appeal your serious consideration.
