CNS Annual General Meeting and Elections
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Army Officers Mess, 149 Somerset Street West at 7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm start.
The Canadian Nordic Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held to elect the Board and table reports. A nominating committee, consisting of volunteers Per Talgøy and Ed Napke along with Board member Stella Ellis as advisor, has been working hard by telephoning all current CNS members. They have been able to create a full slate of Board Members for the coming fiscal year. The names of the CNS members who have volunteered to join the 2008/09 Board will be announced at the AGM. Please take time to attend this very important meeting to vote and meet our new Board members. If you are unable to attend, you can return the proxy sheet which you will find at the end of this newsletter, to the CNS, before May 8.
