Upcoming Events
Hi everyone:
This is a gentle reminder that our Annual General Meeting will take place at 2 pm on Sunday, March 14th. We will have refreshments for all who attend, and the board will give a full report on the club's activities of the past year. Come prepared with comments and questions.
We will also be looking for volunteers to join the board for the new term. The board has monthly meetings and is responsible for the activities of the MRC. Without your help as volunteers, we will not be able to continue all the great programming we have in place. If you are unable to volunteer as a director, we will still appreciate your ongoing help throughout the year in supporting each event we have scheduled -- through your participation and support.
If you haven't paid your membership to the club for 2010, it is now due and is payable on March 14th. There is a spiffy new membership card waiting with your name on it!
As an incentive to get volunteers for new directors on the board, each new director's name will be put into a draw to win a copy of Doreen Pendgracs's new book, "Before You Say Yes ..." a guide to being an effective director on a non-profit board. You can read more about the book here:

The book will be launched in Winnipeg at McNally Robinson Booksellers in Grant Park on March 22nd at 7:30 (in the restaurant) and in Gimli, at the A-Spire Theatre on March 23rd at 7:30 pm at a multi-author event sponsored by Tergesen's.
Roy Yerex of Matlock was one of 20 individuals from across Canada who was interviewed for the book and shares his thoughts on succession planning. Come and chat with Roy and Doreen at the A-Spire and get an autographed copy of the book for yourself or anyone you know who does volunteer work on a non-profit or community board.
