The Annual Meeting in October brought about a newly elected Board of Directors as follows: Donna Larose (President), Connie Cosgrove (Vice President), Terry Tatro (Treasurer), JoAnne Percy (Secretary), Maurice Gauthier, Joanne Shedrick and Irene Clarke (Directors). Congratulations to all. Outgoing President, Evelyn Dubuque, was given a wonderful standing ovation in appreciation of her twenty three years of service.
Since the Annual Meeting, progress has been made towards the rental of the Islands in the Sun Senior Center Building. The Town of Alburgh Board of Selectmen has presented the Center with a “draft lease” for our consideration. Though we have a few questions to be clarified and there are couple of points to be possibly be amended by the lawyers, we are feeling quite confident that an agreement can be reached in the immediate future. Once a final lease is signed, we can begin the necessary renovations to reopen the building to the public. This is very exciting, as we are quite eager to get started.
Membership of the Center has more than doubled in the past two months. This, too, is very exciting knowing that the community stands behind us and supports us in our endeavors to revitalize the Center (both the building and the organization). If you are age fifty or above and have not yet joined, please consider it. You do not need to be a resident of Alburgh to join. Together, we can do great things.
There will be a Special Meeting of the Islands in the Sun Senior Center Board of Directors, committees and members in the Conference Room of the Alburgh Municipal Building on Thursday, 07 November 2013 at 7:00 p.m. This meeting is to further discuss the progress of the lease and to make a few crucial amendments to our current (outdated) bylaws. We will also discuss the status of several committees being formed to insure the bright future of our vital organization. The public is invited to attend. Your input is the foundation for realizing the Center’s mission to aid and serve our community.
For further information and/or to join the Center, please contact Donna Larose 372-4210 or any one of the Board of Directors. Continue to watch the Islander and “LIKE” us on Facebook (The Islands in the Sun Senior Center) to keep up to date on our progress and plans for upcoming events.
