Joe MacKinnon who is the fourth President of CBIH has indicated that he would now like to step aside after 4 very distinguished years as our club president.
Under Joe's stewardship we have had the Nova Scotia Marathon event arrive in CB for the first time (the CBIH is now on the annual list for this event) and we have hosted the Canadian Volkssport Federations National Convention and Annual General Meeting here as well, no mean feats as anyone who has worked at the national level can attest to.
Nominations for this position and other executives position can be sent to the past-president Rollie Coombes by email/phone or given to me at the next walk event.
We will also need nominations for Vice President, secretary as these positions have been occupied with distinguish by the same persons for more then 4 years or more.
Our Treasurer Lucy Nardini has re-offered for this position and it is recommended that Lucy continue to do the job in the excellent manner that we have become accustomed too. Thank You Lucy, this is most appreciated.
It is now time for others to come forward and keep this club going beyond our 15th year and to ensure that Cape Breton has this very unique walking club that is not found anywhere else, lets keep this club going for many more years to come.
Other ways in which you can help out is by volunteering for: "Walk coordinator/scheduling" or "ways and means" committees, membership and various other very important position that keep the club working as smoothly as possible. If you have the desire, just want to learn how the club works or the expertise in a specific field then please come forward and help your walking club.
