NOTICE to the COUREURS de BOIS MEMBERS December 22, 2024
______________________________________________________________________________
The Executive Committee would like to inform the membership that unfortunately Louise McLean, the Social Committee Chair has resigned, effective December 20, 2024, however she has agreed to remain until our January meeting.
Louise has done an incredible job developing the Social Committee and organizing all the social events, City sponsored events, and numerous fund-raising events over the past two years. We have been so fortunate to have her organizational skills, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication.
Now it’s time for someone else to give a little of their time and become the interim chairperson until the November 2025 elections. This will ensure the continued existence of the Social Committee. We do not anticipate any more than 1 or 2 possible fundraisers in the coming years as the club is in a much better financial position than we were a year or two ago. The current committee has also agreed to continue volunteering and whenever possible to take the lead on some of the events. We hope to see a less onerous job for the chairperson and more of a group effort with the committee and volunteers from the membership.
Below is the description of the Social Committee Chairperson found in the Coureurs de Bois Constitution and Bylaws.
