DELWOOD NEEDS YOUR ATTENDANCE! We must have quorum at the Annual General Meeting to be able to proceed with running the community. If we do not get quorum then we cannot conduct the business of the community, including electing a new Executive Board and running the many programs that you enjoy — for example soccer, youth programs, Fall Festival and the running of the ice rink etc. We will once again be making decisions on the hall renovation for the coming year. These are important decisions for the community, not just the executive.Any Delwood resident, with a current community membership qualifies as a voting member. Memberships will be available at the meeting.THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A VOTE on what happens within your community and to find out what the community is

planning for the following year. You DO NOT have to volunteer for anything at the meeting, but your Community League needs your attendance! And, please bring your neighbours with you.BOARD VACANCIESDue to some dedicated Delwood residents we have been able to fill most of the positions on the executive board. We have 2 of our executives doing double duty and fulfilling two positions each. So please consider giving the community some of your time by volunteering for the Executive Board or for one of our many events. If you have any questions about the Executive Board positions please contact me at president@delwood.ca or (780) 472-7864.Greg Sorenson President, Delwood Community
