Hello Kincora,
I hope your families took advantage of the bright weather on April 5 and were able to collect some goody bags during our Easter Egg Hunt. If you haven’t renewed your membership, I urge you to renew it now.
As you must know by now, at this year’s AGM I had stepped down as the President of this amazing board. It has not been an easy decision for me as I had great satisfaction on serving this board for the past two years. Considering Kincora is about to enter into an exciting phase of building some much needed projects it was not an easy decision to make. I will still serve on the board just not in the capacity of a President. I will be there to mentor and teach the ropes to anyone stepping into this position. Trust me, I had never been on any board before this. I just had the curiosity, willingness, and enthusiasm to learn. All it takes is the will to do something good. The rest of it is learned easily.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every board member of the Kincora Community Association, who have helped me be a successful President, especially the past president Travis Merrick and the current Vice President, Kris McPherson, who is not only trying to make Kincora a better place to live in but has also been trying to get a sporting and recreational facility built as the President of the Symons Valley Park Association. Without his guidance my journey on this board would have been very difficult. I would also like to thank Annette Hall, the President of Kincora Residents Association who has helped me immensely. I have seen her work, and I have come to the conclusion she is a big part of why Kincora looks so sparkly year after year.
I would like to express my gratitude to Ward 2 Councillor, Jennifer Wyness for rewarding me. She and her team have been very encouraging to me. Kincora Community Association has been well supported by Ward 2 in our various initiatives and in the funding of our events.
Annie Chio, who has been with the board for many years now has also resigned. With her we are losing a great organizer and a brilliant person.
I cannot emphasize enough what a rewarding experience it is to watch the smiles on the faces of young and old during events. The many events that I helped organize be it the Winter Festival, Easter Egg Hunt, or Stampede, it was always a pleasure to be there amongst all of you. Holi was just a thought a few years ago and now it is a reality.
Remember to enjoy the Holi Colours Festival, being held at our very own Kincora fields on May 3, 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Bring your friends and family from everywhere to participate in this free event. Rain or shine it will happen! See you getting coloured on May 3!
Mallika Velamuri
President, KCA
