Presidents Message June 2011

Thank you to all that were able to join us at the spectacular Wilkin House on King George Terrace. It was a pleasure to meet some of you for the first time and help us toast a spectacular future for Oak Bay Gordon Head the NDP in British Columbia.

A of couple dates I would like you to put aside are Sunday June 12 for our Annual General Meeting. We will be at the Gordon Head Recreation Center, Bert Richman Pavilion 2 to 4, hope to see you there. If you are interested in joining the Executive that would be the time, contact Michael Hayes Executive search committee chair at mhayes1@shaw.ca, guest speaker will be Rob Fleming, MLA, Victoria-Swan Lake.

As well on Sunday July 10 please join the Executive and myself for a BQ at the annual Presidents Open House 3236 Carman Street between 2 to 5 rain or shine and I know it will shine.

The push is on for us here in OBGH to hold a nomination meeting. Our Election Planning Committee is seeking out potential candidates for our riding if interested or you know someone who is please contact us. One of the requirements from Provincial Office is a minimum of $10,000 we are close to the goal and your contributions have/will help us reach that requirement.

Winning back OBGH is critical to the NDP to form Government to do so we will need your help in so many ways; if you would like to volunteer in any way please contact us for more information.

Of course a winning campaign is going to require the funds to do so. I thank you for your contributions. We will all be part of taking OBGH back if you are not a PAC member I encourage you to do so as this helps with budget planning.

We are a strong riding with a membership of over 500 members. But no need to stop there! Talk to your neighbors talk to your colleagues together we can hit the 1000 mark!!
