Message from 2nd Vice President on Interest Groups for 2006-2007

Welcome back everyone I trust you all had a great summer! We will be offering most of the Interest Groups again this year although there are quite a few groups needing a Convener. I am asking any of you that are interested in helping with these groups to please contact me.

Groups offered this year again are: Book Notes, Computer Skills, Get Together Crafts, Golf Gang (Convener needed), Out to Lunch, Social Tennis, Gardeners’ Group (Convener needed), Couples’ Activity, Avalon Trail Blazers, Winter Walkers (Convener needed), Hi-Tea, Games Night (Convener needed), Film Club (Convener needed).

What Does a Convener Do?

Conveners play an important role in the success of the club by seeing that the groups meet regularly.

The Convener is responsible for the organization of the interest group by setting days and times for their meetings with the input from the interest group members. They are also responsible for a newsletter article each month, which details meeting information.

I will have all the sign-up sheets set up at our first meeting in September and they will be available at all monthly meetings. If anyone has any other interest groups that they would like to see being offered and are prepared to run these I would be most happy to set up a new group folder on or before the September meeting. Please feel free to contact me as listed above.
