President's Corner

The beginning of a new year is soon upon us. Before we engage in the ritual and celebration of its arrival, take a few moments to reflect on the previous twelve months. I guarantee many fond memories will include a connection with Club Tread.

Elections for the 2010 Executive were held at our Annual General Meeting in November. All positions remain the same except for the Secretary. After several years of recording our meeting minutes, Liz Williams decided to pass the torch. As part of the executive, Liz has also been a member of the Safety Committee, assisted with the revision to our current printed schedule and partnered with Dana on the Social Coordinator activities. Thank you for all your contributions, Liz. She won’t be far away, as she plans to continue on with the social activities.

Welcome to Gemma Norton-Wilks, our new Secretary. She will take over the duties at the executive meeting in February. Also, to the rest of the executive, a big ‘thank you’ for continuing to volunteer your time, energy and knowledge: Barry Gaetz (Keeping Track Editor), Dana Waite (Social Coordinator), Don Ferster (Outdoor Events Coordinator), George Welsh (Vice President), Jacquie Hunt (Membership Coordinator), John Ward (Treasurer), Judy Brown (Schedule Distributor/Publicity), Mike Motek (Webmaster), Sue Ward (Schedule Editor) and Tom Gore (Past President).

Thanks to a few dedicated Hike/Trip Coordinators our schedule continues to have interesting events. However, there is plenty of room for more. I encourage you to share your talents and lead an event. We have resources to guide you. Our statistics indicate the number of participants and events is up over the last two years.

Enjoy the holidays and all the best for 2010. -- Gail
