Games Day at the Co-op A Success!

 

Once again, Pender-Ferndale had the strongest showing at a Co-op event, with Al, Esme, Nola, Mary W. and Nina representing their site. Jen from Vic-Nape, Mary S. from Salsbury and Teresa from Venables rounded out the game-players for the day. Jen and Al laid out a terrific spread of snacks, which helped everyone keep going between rounds. The group warmed up with a round of Crazy 8s and then the main event began. Mary W. and Nina had brought one of their new favourite games, Telestrations, and the rest of the afternoon was spent drawing and guessing and drawing again.

There’s sure to be another games day, so be prepared for games of all kinds – co-operative, competitive, performative, and creative!

Thanks to Al and Jen for organizing this fun Sunday afternoon event and thanks to everyone who joined in or stopped by to say hello.

Budget General Meeting

At last night’s Budget General Meeting, we had a turnout of 22 Members, who made the following decisions:

  • To change the name of the Capital Fund to the Futures Fund and to retain it.
  • To move half of the 2017 – 2018 fiscal year’s audited surplus into the Futures Fund.
  • To reduce the legal services budget (GL #81030) to $34,000.00 and to institute a 4% housing charge increase for the 2018 – 2019 fiscal year.

The Education Committee also handed out a special edition of the Scatter Chatter – if you didn’t get your copy, let the Committee know!
