President’s Report (Outgoing)Brad Kuhne, President RCA, 2009-2010The AGM was well attended and electionswere held for several positions. The positions ofSecretary and Treasurer remain vacant and anyone interested in serving on the Board in theseroles can contact the new President, Lexie Shmyr or myself.Also during the AGM, I presented the draft financial statementsfor the 2009-2010 year, the significant accomplishmentsof the year and my suggestions for the association moving forward.The highlights of future objectives are in three areas;1) focus on growing our profitability and sustainability financiallythrough the revenues generated by the newsletter, thehall rentals, and the rink rentals,2) encouraging volunteerism by providing learning opportunities,personal growth, and recognition, and3) improving the positive identity of Ramsay by installingphysical updated signage including the entrance way features,highlighting positive aspects of Ramsay life, and alsoleveraging opportunities to showcase Ramsay communityspirit and pride.These objections, I believe, will enhance our community andimprove the quality of life for those who live in it.Lastly, as I conclude my term as President I would like tothank everyone who has volunteered their time to the RCA tomake this year a success and a pleasure for me. Thank you alsoto those who offered their support and encouragement andlifted my spirits along the way. Most of all I thank my wife forher patience, understanding and wisdom.Thank you Ramsay for a great year.In Flanders FieldsIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead.
