Monthly coffee and special event at upcoming AGM
The last Wednesday this month is March 25, 2026 and in keeping with branch tradition the coffee party starts at 10:05 a.m. and runs until 11:05 a.m. at the Orchard Park Mall, 2271 Harvey Ave.
As well, plans are underway to have a special event in conjunction with the branch annual general meeting (AGM) on Friday, April 10, 2026.
Once again, keep in mind that branch bylaws prohibit nominations from the floor at the AGM. Therefore, you need not worry that you will be pressured into accepting a board position if you attend. However, to keep our branch vibrant, responsive and “making a difference” does require members to volunteer. If you have any interest, members of the current team would be happy to share their insights with you.
Add the event to your calendar and plan to attend!
Branch management team opportunity
The Central Okanagan Branch, your branch is always looking for members to join one of our branch teams; members who want to continue using their life learned skills or those wishing to try a new challenge. However, this time, due to a planned resignation, we need a member to take on a specific role and join our finance management team as branch treasurer.
You do not need to be a trained accountant, but you do need to feel comfortable with a computer.
Other board members are very familiar with the position and are more than willing to mentor and assist.
If you can spare two to three hours a month, we would very much like to hear from you. If you want added information or have questions, please contact Daniela Evans, branch president at 1-778-875-3868 or myself at
1-250-317-4446, we will gladly oblige.
Sincerely,
Guy Bird
Vice president, Central Okanagan Branch
