May is membership month. Membership chairs Tony Sibley and Betty Karsh
have been busy organizing this year’s campaign. This is our major fund
raising event for the year so when the volunteer canvasser calls, please
support your community association and purchase your annual membership.
If you miss the canvasser or we were not able to have someone canvass your
street you can always purchase your membership on-line through our web
site at
www.centennialcra.com or you can fill out the form in the newsletter
and drop it off with your payment at our drop box in the Port Union Rec
Centre. We still need canvassers for a number of streets. The list is
elsewhere in this newsletter. Please give either Tony or Betty a call if
you are able to volunteer to canvass.
Earth Day was celebrated on Saturday April 19th. Thanks to
Conservation Chair Chris Welch and Events Chair Heather Lemieux for
helping in the organizing of this event and thanks to all the volunteers
who came out to participate in cleaning up our community after what was
one of the longest and most severe winters in recent memory.
Next year this association will be celebrating our 60th
anniversary. This is a major milestone for a community association. The
executive have had some preliminary discussions on a suitable event(s) to
mark this occasion. Suggestions have ranged from a one day celebration to
special events held in connection with our community events held
throughout the year. We would also be interested in any historical
information, pictures etc. that you may have about our community. You can
contact me if you are able to share this with the community. As you can
appreciate marking this anniversary will require volunteers. If you would
like to volunteer or have any suggestions about how we should celebrate
this anniversary please contact me or any one of the executive.
Looking ahead to next month Highland Creek Heritage Day will be held
Saturday June 14th. This is a day long community event for the
whole family so mark the date on your calendars now. More details will be
in our June newsletter.
