Year End Annual General Meeting

The annual general meeting of the club (AGM) was held Wednesday April 21. Changes were approved to the constitution and a board election was held. The most important change was to expand the board from 9 members to allow for up to 15 members. The new board has 14 members elected for a two year term.

Following the AGM, the new board elected the executive for the next two-year term.

Lists of the current board and executive can be found near the bottom of this page.

Volunteer Appreciation Lunch

A "Volunteer Appreciation Lunch"  was held at the chalet on Saturday April 10. The board was able to thank many of you who helped out with trail preparation, trail grooming, chalet hosting, hosting the "trail blazing celebration", bartending at the Astorville Carnival dance, and other activities during the past season. This is entirely a volunteer-driven club, and we all should be proud of the great community spirit that supports our activities. Thanks for supporting the Wasi Cross Country Ski Club!

"Trail Blazing Celebration"

Was held: Saturday January 23 2010
Why: to celebrate the trail improvements, meet fellow members, and to raise funds for the new Callander Food Bank

All revenues from the sale of brunch added up to a $300 contribution to the Callander Food Bank! Thanks for your help! Our letter to the food bank is posted on the newsletter page.

Thanks especially to Joan Clark and Lily Boucher who organized the event. Thanks also to Brenda Holbein, Dianne Lebrecque, Kerry Stephensen, and others who helped out. Donations were also gratefully received from McDonalds and the Astorville Freshmart.

WASI Ski Club Logo

Our logo is on file at Mark's Work Wearhouse (North Bay). They can make and sew the logo onto any fabric item that you wish for 12 bucks. Just go into the embroidery division and tell them you belong the Wasi Ski Club.

Trillium Foundation Grant  approved spring 2009!

We were again successful in obtaining a Trillium Foundation grant in the amount of $46,800 to support the life of your club. (List of area grants). Our grant has allowed us to upgrade the equipment, expand the parking area, do some serious trail work (culverts, ditching, bridges), and twin a portion of the 4 km trail.
