PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE A message
from the new community league president has been long overdue. It
has been quite a ride since I first volunteered for the Capilano
executive position of secretary in 2002. I stepped in to fill a
vacancy and quickly realized the need to do even more. During
those years I learned a lot about the operations of the league and
gained the confidence to step into the role of president. A
huge thank you goes to Gregg Meropoulis, now officially the past
president of Capilano. Gregg remained as president to see the
changing of the guard and a renewed enthusiasm in Capilano. While
many people came and went from various executive positions, he stayed
active and helped me prepare to take over. Thanks Gregg! Virtually
the entire executive has changed in the past three years and I am proud
to say that the league is in good hands. We have many dedicated
people who give unselfishly. It is much easier to get involved in
a successful organization and I have no doubts that we will continue to
thrive. Having said that, we are always looking for help and ways
to improve or expand our services. If you see a need or have
ideas, you can make a difference. It is true that you
never know what you are getting yourself into when you volunteer your
services. I can honestly tell you it has all been good!
Whether it has been hall operations and maintenance, communications,
bingo, the web site, ice rink, or just answering questions, the rewards
are plenty. I wish to thank the executive and members at large for past support and look forward to successful future relationships. Bill Burtnik President Capilano Community League |
