Lake Waseosa Ratepayers' Association

REVISED:

The Annual General Meeting will be held on July 11^th 2009 at the Walsh (Jones) residence (same place as the last couple of years: in Norton's Bay, 844 North Waseosa Lake Road. Start time: 9:30am!

 Among the important items to be considered, we will need to elect 3 Directors this year. Bruce Howlett, our President, is retiring from the Board. The terms of both Cam and Tony expire at the end of this year. 

The Directors are volunteers, but essential to the operation of this organization. Without the Directors, there would be no Fun Day, no Corn Roast, no voice at Town Hall. This website wouldn't exist. To keep things going, we need an infusion of fresh blood every so often.

At the moment, the Board is particularly weighted with Waseosa  residents. Palette and Jessop lakes do not currently have anyone representing their interests on the Board. Yes, Waseosa has the largest pool to draw from so it's a natural phenomenon, but we need to hear from the smaller lakes too! Same goes for the "Back Lot" owners -- we are a Ratepayers' association, not just a cottagers' association. We need you at the table too.

 So, what does the job entail? Sorry, there's no chauffer driven limosine to a polished oak desk. We meet about once a month at a member's home. We decide how many hot dogs and ribbons to buy and then we go pick them up. We review proposed by-laws and developments and make submissions on them were appropriate. We conduct water sampling, put the navigation buoys in the water and fetch the cases of cleaner from L&P. It's not hard work -- anyone can do it. You can do it.
