As
you know, our AGM was on March 14 and that was also the night of the elections.
Norm and I had decided that I would not take on a second term. And because of the stage we are at in our
lives we have also decided to resign as Zone Directors for Zone 7.
I
would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new President – Bonny
Swart-Attwood. Bonny is from the Bon
Accord area and is also the Zone Director for Bon Accord and Gibbons. I would
ask that our board as well as the general membership support Bonny the same way
they supported me. It is a big
undertaking but it is made a lot easier if members are willing to help. Bonny
may be contacted at the same email address

Being
President of SRCWA has been an incredible experience. It was a huge learning curve but one that I
really enjoyed. I can say I enjoyed it
because I had Norm’s full support as well as the members of our amazing board. There
was no hesitation when it came to everyone doing their part. A strong cohesive group and I expect that to
continue. So much has been accomplished
in the past three years and that is because everyone was willing to work.
We
do have Zone Directors and other positions to fill and I wonder with near 800
members if some would like to step forward and help out. The more members we have on board the less
work it is for individuals.
I
have many Thank You’s – beginning with our Board – I cannot Thank you enough
for your willingness to help out and for backing me completely.
To
the County members – Susan, Tom and Cecile, Patrick, Protective Services and
the county staff – the support for our group has been immeasurable. We must be the envy of the other 52 crime
watch groups for the support we have received.
The
RCMP have also been there for us- be it pulling
the float, coming to our meetings, giving presentations with me or
making sure we received information to fan out.
We have always been able to count on them.
We
have had a very successful three years – but you all know a President is
nothing without a really good group of people to work with. There was so much
accomplished and that is because you all did your part. I think you should all be very proud of how
much you have done. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
again
