Hello members and guests of the Central Ontario Humanists,
It has been a pleasure to serve as your president this year. To close out the year we have our Winter Solstice Party and 15 minute AGM on December 11th. RSVP to Josh with what you will bring (below). We will elect our board members for next year and then have a blast. Your current executive board has been working hard some some dedicated members to already start books fantastic speakers for next year.
We will be meeting on first Monday of the month for the next year, as this is the only day the library allows us to book.
We would appreciate your input as to what was your favourite presentations of the year–the kind you want more of. As well, I’m interested to know which you disliked the most and would like to get rid of going future. Make this your club. Respond to this email and let me know.
