Mark your calendars for November 23rd, when our Annual General Meeting will convene at Centennial Arena, commencing at 7:30 p.m. This gathering will feature updates from our executive team, recognition of achievements, and elections for available positions. We strongly urge your participation to gain a deeper understanding of our executive’s vision and explore opportunities to contribute to the club’s advancement.

At present, we have two positions open for election, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation to Adrienne Brisco and Cathy Faulke for their devoted service as registrar and treasurer. Job descriptions for these positions can be found below.

As we embark on the 2024 season, I want to reiterate the message I shared last Spring – we need more volunteers for various roles, including committees, Lacrosse Days, fundraising, and other essential tasks. While we deeply value the parents who coach, manage, time keep, and handle equipment logistics, our little association needs additional support to become a true lacrosse hub. We are seeking individuals with expertise in social media, advertising, accounting, and connections to local media outlets. In essence, we’re looking for those who can dedicate a couple of hours each week to help lighten the load.

It’s important to emphasize that Pat and I are not involved because we have children playing; rather, our passion for the game and a strong desire to give back to our community drive our commitment. We eagerly anticipate your responses and involvement.

See you on November 23rd at the AGM! If you’re interested in volunteering, please don’t hesitate to contact us via phone or text.

Best regards,

 

Mark Betts, President
