Pandemic and the Club
The executive had an outdoor meeting September 2nd. The pandemic has had a huge impact on all of
our lives, and it appears we will continue to be dealing with it for a long
time to come. The current executive is willing to do the minimum to keep the
club in good standing, however an infusion of new volunteers is required to
generate more activity.
The current executive has served for a longer period of time
than planned because of hosting Rendezvous, and the associated delays. We need
new volunteers to step up and take on some of the responsibilities of running
the club. We foresee a focus on field trips, and minimal administrative tasks
for now.
We are planning a campout and field trip for the weekend of
September 11-13th. We will have details for you shortly, but we are
looking at the Princeton area, and exploring the possibility of a joint field
trip with the Princeton Club. Please
remember to bring a mask, in case you need to carpool to a site.
Whether you join us as a day trip, or come to camp, there
will be opportunities to discuss further outings.
If you are prepared to let your name stand and take on some club
responsibilities, please contact Katherine or Jerome, or e-mail the club.
Voting by mail could be an option to elect a new slate.
Positions to be filled include: President, Vice-President,
Secretary, Treasurer, as well as wagon master, membership co-ordinator, and
social co-ordinator.
Current members will have their membership in the club and
the BCLS renewed for 2021 without a fee.
As our Provincial Health Officer has said – none of us
signed up for a pandemic.
We welcome your input in these uncertain times.
We will post the field trip details on the website shortly.
