New Membership Portal

There is a new online membership portal at www.cliffbungalowmission.com. It has more capabilities than the previous system and it will require less volunteer time to manage.

To get to the location online, click on “Get Involved”. Then click on “Memberships”. The new membership portal link is at the bottom of that page.

Ongoing Community Events

We have ongoing jazz and potlucks in the community centre. Jazz is normally the first Wednesday. There is a different jazz group each month. It is an affordable night out and the jazz groups are very good.

The potlucks are generally the second Sunday, although December is the first Sunday as everyone’s schedules become very busy later in December. This is a great way to meet and get to know others. There is always lots of great food.

Changes to Our Hall Rentals

Our community hall was created from two classrooms. There is a folding door that can divide the hall back into two rooms. For many years the Montessori School of Calgary has been renting our hall space and using the west half as a classroom on school days. We have concurrently been renting the whole hall after 5:00 pm. In most cases that has meant the school would remove their things (on wheels). This has caused various concerns for the school. During the last several months, we have been in discussion with Montessori on how we might address these concerns.

At our June Board meeting, our Board decided we would stop renting the whole hall to outside groups starting September 1. We will still use the whole hall for CBMCA events such as Jazz and Potlucks. We will still rent out the east hall for small events like Condo AGMs.

For rental inquiries, email [email protected].

Annual General Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting is on Wednesday, November 19. More details in this newsletter, emails, and social media. Doors open at 6:00 pm. The meeting starts at 7:00 pm.

We will update the Board list in the January newsletter.

History Book is a Great Gift

We have the third printing of our award-winning history book. It is one of the most successful community books in Calgary. It is available for purchase at all our events at the community centre including our AGM on November 19. Cost is still $30 (cost recovery). This is a great way of learning the history of the community in which you live. They are great as gifts.
