MEETING NEW FRIENDS AT THE 2009 CONVENTION
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING FOR THE ISLAND HOPPERS:
FRIDAY July 31, 6:30pm
McConnell Memorial Library,
50 Falmouth Street, Sydney
SUBJECT:"The Canadian Volkssport Federation, 24th Annual General Meeting and Convention 2010,coming to Cape Breton!!!
Over the past several walk events it has been proposed to bring the convention to Cape Breton Island and more specifically to CBRM-Sydney.
During these short meeting at the walk events there was a lot of enthusiasm to bring the convention here, now we need your help to setup committees, make proposals on how to do it.
Your input and volunteer efforts will be the backbone of this proposal to make this a successful event.
Immediately after this meeting we must make a formal announcement to the CVF Board of Directors for their approval. No other organizations have come forward to hold the convention for 2010.
Normally the next convention would have been announced during the ongoing convention however this past year no clubs came forward to host the 2010 convention.
The CVF Board of Directors has designated the weekend of 28-30 May 2010 as the General Meeting therefore we will hold the convention as per these dates.
We need walk committees, entertainment, banquet, meet and greet, registration committees and more. Help us to show off this great island. Lets make it #1 and not #3 of the most beautiful Islands in the world, according to Leisure Magazine.
A post convention tour of the Highlands may also be considered.Please pass on this information to members you know who do not have email. Thank You!
Rollie, for Joe and Elsie
Walking for fun,fitness & Friendship
