Hello Sage Hillians,
And we’re off and running! Your SHCA board had their first meeting, and we covered a lot of ground and have plenty to do in the near future. As we move forward, we ask for your patience as it is a new chapter and beginning for some of us and it will be a while before we get settled in with a routine that can be replicated every year.
Our goal this year is to get our legal requirements in place, hold our AGM, get new Directors, the more the merrier, meet our representatives from the City of Calgary, and ensure our website/media presence is up to date. Short of all this, we will look at what type of social events to hold and rely on you, the community, to tell us what you would like to see happen in our lovely neighbourhood. The SHCA board has already come up with some ideas and we will share them in the near future. For the time being, Blizzards Soccer is up and running, and Sportball will be available in our community as well. We have already had some people stick their hands up to help out and, of course, we have to thank Isaac Wing, a man on a mission. Isaac is the gentleman who has been filling the winter adopt-a-rink located at Liam Field Park – off Sage Valley Drive and Sage Valley Road. He is the reason you’ve been able to take your kids or self to get a little ice time. Thank you, Isaac.
Big news for all! Memberships are free! At our first meeting, we decided unanimously to make memberships free. We decided it is more important to get as many people signed up and involved in our community than to charge a fee and make a little money. In fact, the more memberships, the greater the chance to have community involvement, volunteers, new board members, grants, donations, events, etc. We all know that COVID had a crippling effect on everyone and the SHCA was no different. Paid memberships dropped to an all time low, and it still stands as such. Our goal is to reignite the passion of getting together with fellow community members. We want to bring all types of events like food trucks, movie nights, community cleanups, adults’ nights, the sky is the limit. Are we excited? Yes! Do we have big dreams? Yes! Do we need your participation? Absolutely! So, without further ado, please go to sagehillyyc.com and register under ‘Members’.
AGM – June 10 at 7:00 pm
Another big announcement is that this will be our first AGM with the team of Directors we have and we’re really hoping that you will attend and possibly even sign-up to become a Director/volunteer. As we get closer to the date, more information will be made available. I want to thank you all for your patience and personally let you know, as a Sage Hillian since 2008, that I’m here for you – we are here for you – and we want to make this community as lively and vibrant as possible. Regards,
Ron Howey
