WHSPA AGM: Important Meeting Announcement

The WHSPA  AGM is Thursday, October 22nd at 7 pm in the library. You may not be aware that each of the executive positions are for a 1 year term. This year we have a number of positions available due to grade 9 students & parents moving on to high school. 

Nancy Staples has been an outstanding treasurer . Her connections with the Parkland community were invaluable in our last casino as was her organization and scheduling. 

Our fundraising coordinator, Kathy Waterman, is also leaving us. When Kathy took on the fundraising position for WHSPA, our general account was -$500. She leaves us with a solid $4797. My sincere thanks to both of these ladies. 

I am also stepping down as WHSPA Chair. I’ve enjoyed working with Kat, Daryl, the rest of the staff, and the Wilma parents. We have a wonderful community of caring families and I have been happy to look out for the needs of our kids. Our secretary is returning as is our casino director. We have also found a volunteer to replace our treasurer and she has been working over the summer to become acquainted with our system. 

We are however in need of a chair and a fundraising coordinator. If you feel you can dedicate some time for a very worthwhile cause – our children – please join us in the library on October 22nd.
