Other Community Participation
Fit For Heart, Heart and Stoke Challenge
WBCHCS ended up third in pledges collected and did quite well on the course. I am not sure of our placement regarding our competition time but everyone had a great time with Heart and Stroke getting some needed support.
3: Minutes of the February 12 meeting.
No errors or omissions.
Moved for acceptance by Brian, seconded by Izett, carried.
4: Business arising from the minutes.
No business to report from the minutes.
5: Correspondence
Email from John Jordan regarding the launch of the new CHC branding to be held March 20 at the Somerset West Community Health Centre.
Email from Dorothy Corbiel of RBV announcing their AGM to be held April 24 in Killaloe. In place of a guest speaker, a panel discussion concerning "integration" will be held with the concerned parties taking part.
Email from MOHLTC stating that no satellite funding is available until the completion and evaluation of the present three year plan which included 39 different communities.
An email originating from Merv Buckwald was read in which Merv states Health Minister George Smitherman told him that it was a waste of time for Eganville to submit an application for a CHC. The Eganville application will more than likely go ahead with an application for a CHC and a FHT.
Email from Lee McKenna, AOHC, received by Izett. Lee suggested that board members be present for the launch of the new CHC branding to be held March 20 at the Somerset West Community Health Centre.
6: New Business
Meals on Wheels - only two people are making use of the meals. Don Wulff, who has delivered the meals for some years, will not be continuing the service due to lack of demand and his failing health. He will purchase any frozen meals that remain in stock as they are to be destroyed if older than one year. Annette will contact Brenda to determine what the directors and the Health Centre should do with the new freezer that was purchased jointly. It was suggested the freezer might be donated to the Cobden Food Bank.
AGM - our AGM will be held Tuesday, May 20 this year. Ron will contact the Cobden Civitan Club about using their Hall. Civinettes could provide coffee and light snacks for refreshment. Izett offered to contact Trina Lemay to be the guest speaker who could speak about their new FHT. Brian will place the required advertisements in the news media after the next meeting. Invitations should be sent to LHCS and RBV as well as local politicians etc.
7: Treasurers Report
Moved by Brian to accept Treasurer’s report as presented, seconded by Izett, carried.
8: Committee Reports
Property - the rear of 68 Main Street is still under consideration by the Ambulance Service.
- the door lock at the side of 70 Main Street still freezes up.
Membership - no report. A new format for membership cards was discussed
Board Affairs - Brian - Brian, Izett and Ron met to discuss revising/updating our constitution/by-laws. The 36 sections were divided between the three directors for suggested up-dating. Will meet again before the next directors meeting to discuss and compile the changes. Hopefully, the revisions will be ready for the AGM. A nominating committee will be formed with Brain, Izett, Pat and Ron.
Fund Raising - Pat, waiting for the new CHC logo to be used on the donation brochure.
Political Liaison - Izett, has communicated with Lee McKenna of the AOHC regarding the new branding and Eganville/Golden Lake
