AGM

The 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Saturday June 16, the first since pre-COVID. If you were unable to attend, here's a link to the information that was presented at the meeting: 2022 AGM.

At the meeting, the President welcomed Nora Hammell as the newest member of the Executive Committee. Nora has been active in Centre activities since moving to the lake and we are pleased to have her on board. (Note: the search for Committee members is ongoing so if you have an interest in being part of a fun, active group of volunteers, just reach out to any current member or email us at DarlingWhiteLakeCentre@gmail.com.)

Following the meeting, attendees enjoyed a BBQ lunch before departing to enjoy the rest of a beautiful summer day.

Annual General Meeting - July 16

As with many organisations, best intentions took second place to COVID for the past 2+ years. As a result of the lockdowns, the Executive Committee at the Centre has not been able to hold an AGM since the last one in 2019.  Now it's time to catch up. 

This year's AGM will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday July 16. Come on out and hear what the Executive Committee has been up to over the past 2 years (all social distanced, of course), and plans for the future. As an added incentive, we are providing a free BBQ lunch afterwards. (But first you must attend the meeting!)

See you on the 16th!

A big shout-out to the Strawberry Social team

If you didn't make it out to the Strawberry Social this year, you missed a great day at the Centre where Jacqueline and her band of volunteers served up delicious strawberry treats for 97 attendees. 

The proceeds from the sale of the food and cash donations amounted to $877. This money will be used to help a Ukrainian refugee family in the local area with some of the many expenses associated with coming to Canada under exceptionally difficult circumstances. 

Well done, indeed.

Strawberry Social - June 25

We are happy to announce our first major post-COVID event. Always popular, the Strawberry Social celebrates the beginning of summer and provides an opportunity for friends and neighbours to become re-acquainted after a long winter (or, in this case, a long COVID period). And what’s more delicious than fresh strawberries to mark the occasion?

All proceeds from this year’s event will be going to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund.

Our new online presence

Those of you who have been affiliated with the Centre for some time are aware of the issues we've had creating and maintaining an online presence so that our community members (you) can easily access the calendar of activities and be made aware of any special events coming up. As a volunteer-run organization, spending the big bucks to get a website designed and managed is a no-go, however there are less expensive (i.e. free) options, and this is one. Hopefully the folks at Blogger will maintain this capability for some time to come, but in the meantime, we're back.

As always, feel free to add your name to our email list of Friends of the Centre in order to receive periodic updates on the various goings on at DWLC.
