ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

With the AGM on the horizon, I will take this opportunity to remind you that we have a Board of Directors with 10 chairs. Currently only 8 of those chairs are filled. Please give some thought to letting your name stand for election to the Board. By sitting on the Board you will contribute to the operation of our society – setting policy, allocating funds and managing various programs. Many hands make for light work!!

CASINO

The Casino Fund Raiser is upcoming again and AGLC has assigned us Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29. This event is likely the most important event on the WPSS calendar as it provides us with the money to operate and to run our programs and social events, it funds this web site and the quarterly newsletter. This money does not just drop into our account – it is earned with the time and effort of volunteers and that means YOU! There are many positions which need filling. Experience is not necessary as training is provided. We have 2 shifts a day for a total of 4 shifts. You may volunteer for 1 or 2 shifts(consecutive days), morning or evening. Your help is seriously needed. You can offer your time by calling Pat at the office at 780-428-8842 or email her at wpss@polioalberta.ca

WPSS is required to fill all positions on all shifts on our assigned dates. By volunteering to work the casino you are saving the society from having to hire mercenaries to fill the vacant positions. Mercenaries, by definition, are paid for their time. Every cent we have to pay them is money taken out of the WPSS profit. This can easily result in the loss of hundreds of dollars – dollars which would be better spent on our programs. Please think about this and if you are physically able put in a shift or two at the Yellowhead Casino on June 28 and 29!
