The PPOC-MB Blog


Hi everyone,
We have talked about starting a blog for some time, but this seemed like a perfect time to start it. We have all of our reports of the Board of Directors this year posted to this blog (you can select them by clicking on the left side). This was a challenging year and we now need to plan for next year. Our Annual General Meeting for anyone who has not heard is to be November 22nd, 6 p.m. at the Canad Inns on Pembina Highway in Winnipeg. You will be receiving a package in the next day or so if you haven't already, that has enclosed ballots to elect new members to serve on the Board next year. There is also a description of a Notice of Motion for the meeting. At last year's AGM, the general assembly of members thought it was a good idea to reduce the size of the board by four members and to allow the election of the Vice-President and President by a vote from the voting members who attend the AGM. That change cannot be done on the spot and has to be presented to everyone has an opportunity to reflect on whether they like the idea of that change. I hope you will be in support but welcome your views whether you agree or not with the idea. This is the reason for the AGM. We have to get together and decide what course we will chart into the future. I hope I can count on your attendance at the last event of the year.

thanks, Ken Frazer
