Greetings from the Elder College Executive and Curriculum committees. During the 2024 year our membership was lower than normal after the Spring registration. Utilizing social media (Facebook – Cariboo Chilcotin Elder College), our webpage and increasing community awareness, membership increased by 40% for the Fall semester! We now have 200 members which is still lower than previous years. We continue to increase awareness and membership.
Our Annual General Meeting was held November 4, 2024. We elected six directors including a Co-Treasurer, Secretary, and four Directors at Large. Our membership fee will remain the same - $10.00 for the calendar year.
We welcome new members on both the Executive and Curriculum committees. If you are interested in joining one of these committees, please contact one of the executive members for more information. Elder College relies on the volunteer course leaders and coordinators that provide our community with these courses, delivering lifelong learning opportunities. We thank these volunteers for their on-going support!
I am encouraging all our members to introduce a friend to Elder College and bring them to registration day. If you follow us on Facebook, please share the stories so we can promote our organization.
We thank all our members for your continued support of our programs.
Sincerely yours,
Bev Atkins
