From the Sport Committee
The Sport Committee is hosting a 25th Anniversary Reunion for those
who played on the Dante Club Mens' Soccer Team and attended a
tournament in Italy. This will take place in May. (By invitation only!)
Notice of Motion
Due to the financial burden of the bonds on the club as outstanding debt
and the loss of revenue of the membership dues, The Board
recommends: that the ability to transfer bonds to children who are not
current members as of the date of April 7th 2014, upon the bond
member's passing or turning age 65 be discontinued.
This motion was passed by the membership at the April 7th
General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting members will be presented with the
Renovation Project proposal. More information to follow on this topic.
The following positions are open on the Board of Directors: Vice
President, Recording Secretary, and (current 1yr term) Director. The Club
encourages members to consider possible candidates and nominations.
Two Finance & Audit Committee positions are also open. The Governance
Committee now has the Nomination forms available and they can be
picked up at the office or online. Nominations will close on May 16th.
Elections will take place at the AGM on Sunday, May 25th. Lunch will
start at 12:30pm and the Elections will begin at 1:30pm.
