Happy winter everyone! This has been one of the craziest winters I can remember for weather; we had an early snowfall that quickly disappeared, followed by another snowstorm and it is supposed to be gone again by next week.
Parade of Lights planning has been moving along and I think we are in a great position for the event. We have been trying to get the last few volunteers to step forward to help with marshalling and our fundraising efforts of selling LED items. I will have an update in the next edition as to how the VIP membership contest goes. Currently, the plan is that anyone who pre-purchases their 2020 membership will receive a chance to win a VIP Parade of Lights experience. This would be a photo with Santa on the float, gift basket, behind the scenes experience, and LED items.
I got to attend the Federation of Calgary Communities workshop on engaging volunteers, which was very informative. Do you have a passion for grammar? Want to influence what people in the community are reading? Want to change up what is in the newsletter? We are currently recruiting for our Newsletter Director. Please email [email protected] for more information.
Our amazing new Interim Social Media & Communications Director, Celina S., is busy working on a number of projects for the community. We need your feedback! The ABCA is currently working on a refresh for all of our digital platforms and we’d love to hear what content is most valuable to you! Please visit Auburn Bay Community Association on Facebook for the direct survey link and have your voice heard!
We would like to welcome Dominique B. to our board as our Interim Treasurer, I know she will be an invaluable board member. I would like to applaud Dominique for stepping forward as she was just moving into the community and felt that she wanted to be involved. A huge thank you is owed to Richard J. for staying on as our treasurer until a replacement stepped forward.
The Auburn Bay Community Association in partnership with the Auburn Bay Residents Association and Arborcare are working on getting larger disc of trees cut for Christmas ornaments / decorations. These will be available at Auburn House on a first come, first served basis, to be decorated as your family chooses. We will do a random draw from the photos submitted for a prize. More details will be posted on the CA Facebook page and website.
I will be attending a couple of meetings with a new group that is working on bringing a new app to Calgary to help engage residents, more information to follow.
If you have anything that you feel that we need to add to either the website or newsletter, please email [email protected], as we do appreciate your feedback /input.
