Evergreen Curling Club will hold its Annual General Meeting May 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub in SE. (map, website)
This is your chance to elect members of the Board of Directors that run the club. Better yet, you could run for a position!
Here are some more details:
The club holds (at least) one formal meeting of its members each year, during which the Board of Directors reports on the activities and financial state of the club for the current year. We also hold elections of Officers and Directors for the forthcoming year at this meeting so we encourage ALL members to attend and participate. The meeting will not be exceptionally long and the Board respectfully requests your thoughts and suggestions for next year’s club activities.

ELECTIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with the club bylaws the following Board of Director positions are up for election at the AGM this year: (All members are encouraged to consider participating on the Board and offering their name for election.)
• President (two year term) – (incumbent Steve Liske is eligible to run for this position, and he indicates that he will.)
• Treasurer (two year term) – (incumbent Steve Talley has served two terms and is not eligible to run for re-election to this position unless the proposed bylaw change shown below is passed.)
• Community Relations Director: (two year term) – (Incumbent Arnie Iwanick was appointed to a partial term this current year and so is eligible to run for this position)
• Membership Director: (two year term) – (The Incumbent is eligible to run for re-election to this position as she has served only one, two year term. She does not plan to run again for this position. Joe Petsche has expressed interest to run for this position given a Secretary can be identified and appointed by the board.)
• Director-at-Large, three positions (one year terms) – (incumbent Matthew Ginn was appointed to a partial term prior to being elected last year and is eligible to run for this position. Incumbents Susan Hale and Paul Zavitkoski are both eligible to run for this position.)
All members are encouraged to consider participating on the Board and offering their name for election.
If you have not been contacted by a current Board member and are interested, please contact Steve Liske, Steve Talley, Joe Petsche or Wayne Brock at the rink or by email to indicate your interest. The club has a very difficult path ahead as, despite the current economy, we hope to make progress towards building our own dedicated curling facility. We need wide-ranging participation from an increasing percentage of our members. Please consider what you can contribute to our success.

REVISIONS TO THE CLUB BYLAWS
A copy of the club bylaws will be posted on the club web site for your reference and review. At the forthcoming AGM we are intending to vote on a proposed revision to those bylaws. Article VII Section 7.2.B states that no position can be held by the same member for more than two full consecutive terms. At this time, the Board is recommending that the term limit for the position of Treasurer be eliminated by altering Section 7.2.B to state:
“No ECC Board member other than that of the position of Treasurer shall be elected to hold the same Board position for more than two full consecutive terms. A member may hold the same Board position again if there has been at least a one year separation between terms.”
Other proposed bylaw revisions to meet our club’s changing needs are respectfully solicited and should be presented to the Secretary in writing prior to April 20th, 2010 in order for us to provide sufficient notice to the members prior to voting on their merits at the AGM on May 4th, 2010.

There might not be any summer curling, but we have some fun events we are lining up! There’s the annual Beavers Baseball game, and we’re planning a picnic! On top of that we’re going to host a T-Shirt contest… A design a T-shirt contest! Design a T-Shirt that our members can proudly wear at the Lloyd Center or at any curling club around the world!
