Our Annual General Meeting was held on

Optkid Keleigh & Opti-Grandkid Damian. Club

bylaws & a policy review followed.

A financial update was given and our club
is doing well raising money with Casinos,
Bingos, and the Edmonton Eskimos
Parking. Our money is being spent on
Youth and Community projects and each
year about $100,000 is raised and spent.
Our Bylaws and Policies were reviewed and
the most significant change was that dues
were increased to a $100 per member.
However we still continue our “sweat
equity” where as active members dues will
be covered through fund raising.
Special thanks are extended to our Past
Presidents led by Immediate Past President
Geoff for the elections and nominations
committee, Opt Keivin for the finances, and
Opt John for preparing the updated bylaws
and Policies. The AGM was a success and
our club continues stronger than ever.
