Hello neighbours! A new Board is upon us, and the team is excited to get started.
Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting was held on Tuesday, May 7. We received presentations from government officials, approval of our audited financial statements, an update about new schools, a summary of the Association’s activities during 2023-24 and the election of the new Board of Directors (please see page X of this newsletter for the current directors).
Community Cleanup
Our annual Community Cleanup on May 4 was a huge success. Our final numbers will come out in a couple weeks, but we can tell you we filled two garbage trucks, an electronics truck, and two metal bins. We also raised $530 in cash and bottle donations. We would like to recognize and thank the following for making this event run smoothly. Community members Faisal, Teegan, Matthew, and Sharon. ECCA Board members Christopher, Maricel, Mike, and Robbie. Servus Credit Union Creekside, Jenny, Vanessa, Gurleen, Peter, May, and Rohan. Businesses Homes by Maricel McDonald, Speedyjunk2go, and Blowers and Grafton for food, drink, and snack donations. Thank you to the City of Calgary Waste and Recycling Services for providing this great initiative. Lastly, a thank you to St Josephine Bakhita School for letting us use its parking lot.
Soccer Has Started
This is the ECCA’s second year of a community soccer partnership with the Calgary Blizzard Soccer Club. The Evanston programs run Thursdays in the community from May 4 to June 22, 2024, for players U4 to U9. All community players are also invited to the Festival Wrap up on Sunday, June 23 at the Inland Soccer Fields. For more information, please contact [email protected].
Volunteer With The ECCA
We are always looking for people to join our team as the success of our events and our ability to deliver on community projects and initiatives are dependent on our volunteers. There are a variety of opportunities to get involved. We are currently in need of the following directorships: Secretary, Memberships, Volunteers, and Director at Large. Please email [email protected] if you are interested and/or would like more information about the open directorships. If you are looking to volunteer your time, but perhaps not as director, we have a volunteer list you could be added to at [email protected].
