It’s hard to believe that over half the Civitan year is over and we are now into June.

Our Spring convention was a huge success and we were so glad to see members from Almonte, Carleton Place, Chateauguay and Pembroke were in attendance.

Mary Luck from Civitan International also attended our Spring One Day Convention which was held May 4th in Midland Ontario. Mary is well known to Canadians as she very successfully organized Sno Do and Dance-a-thon for many years.

A letter which was written to Civitan International after our District Zoom call was read at the convention and Mary address some of the concerns during a question-and-answer period. The letter will be taken back to Civitan International. The letter stated we did not like what was offered and we will stay clubs at large.

On a positive note, Darrell Blackwell was elected as Past Governor Director and Jadzia Weir as Area Director. Congratulations to both. The position of Governor Elect is still open, so hopefully someone will step forward at the September convention.

Special thanks to the District Board for reviewing and updating the Bylaws, which passed at the Convention. Sue Gibson has mailed them off to the government.

The board has been working on updating the policies and hopefully they will be ready for the Fall convention

Please read the thank-you letter from WATER FIRST in respect to our recent donation of $6,500.00.
