Greetings Chilliwack Branch members!
Thank you for visiting our web page! Spring has sprung here in the Valley! Expect to see daffodils and crocuses everywhere!
It’s been a long winter no one can deny! So here we are looking forward to Spring and warmer weather. One thing we will be looking forward to is a spring election federally on April 28th, 2025. While our organization remains neutral (like Switzerland) we can encourage you to get out to vote, either at early voting or on the day of. Just remember to have ID with you when you do.
We are looking forward to our AGM and Recruitment event on Wednesday April 16, 2025 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. We have a new venue at the Chilliwack Curling Club off Corbuld Street. We’d love to have a good turnout! Who can turn down a breakfast buffet I’d like to know! Tickets are still available until April 10. Tickets are $15.
Please call Kim Mcleod at (604) 799-8470 to reserve a seat.
Other news would be we would love some new volunteers! We could do a lot more if we had more help. Please reach out if you’d like to volunteer.
If anyone has a hobby they would like to share or any ideas for group get togethers (i.e. walking group) please let us know. You could make a presentation for us!
Also if you knowof anyone who would qualify to join the Association please approach them. We have found out recently that Reservists are also eligible to join so if you know of any reservists please let them know.
We are hoping to have a Preferred Partnership Day with displays, prizes etc. In September, so stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Carol Kayser
President
