St James Assiniboia 55+ Centre

Due to popular demand we will be returning to Rosenort and the Ole’ Farmhouse Café! The Ole’ Farmhouse Café embraces the amenities of a restaurant, with all the warm comforts of home, creating the most unique atmosphere. The Café has its own on site bakery to bake their own breads, buns, and desserts to complement each of their unique meals. Participants are responsible for paying for their own lunch. *This trip is dependent on drivers so please indicate at registration if you are able to drive*

Did you know the Forks has undergone over $4 million in renovations over the past few years? Join the Centre for some shopping and lunch at this updated tourist hub. We will be eating in the food hall so the menu is up to you. Participants are responsible for paying for their own lunch.

• The Board submits the following amendment to the Centre’s Bylaws: CURRENT: Bylaw 5.03 b) A quorum at the Annual General Meeting shall be at least 30 voting members in attendance.

• PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Bylaw 5.03 b) be amended by deleting the words “at least 30 voting” and inserting the words “the number of”
If adopted, bylaw 5.03 b) would read:
A quorum at the Annual General Meeting shall be the number of members in attendance.
Rationale: Often, there is difficulty achieving the quorum of 30 members. Many other organizations face this challenge and have amended their bylaws to change the quorum to the number of members in attendance. The Board recommends adoption of this amendment.

• Approve the appointment of accountant for annual financial review engagement

• Consider such other business as may properly come before the Annual General Meeting
