Advisory Committee

 

The Advisory Committee meets once a month to discuss and plan special events, programs, fund raising programs and deal with concerns that arise at the Centre. It is great to have a representative from various classes and activities in the Centre on this Committee so they can report back to the groups, keeping them informed and up to date.

 

 

Bazaar

 

Workers are needed to help out at the annual Falling Leaves Bazaar. Duties include setting up, selling, cashiers, etc. Everyone is welcome to help!

 

 

Board of Directors

 

Directors are elected at the Annual Meeting in September. The Directors manage the business affairs of the Centre. They also make decisions on issues raised and reported, from the chairman, the vice chairman the Advisory Committee, and the Executive Director.
