RE: General Membership Meeting Summary Report for  October 16th, 2024


The following notes represent my personal summary of the October General Membership Meeting and ARE NOT OFFICIAL MINUTES. They are for the express purpose of keeping the members informed in a timely fashion. Since minutes must be approved at a subsequent General Membership Meeting, any updates which would require the use of the actual minutes would result in updates being one-month old.

The following was approved at the October meeting:

  • Minutes of the September 18th, 2024 meeting 
  • The financial statement ending September 2024 and the disbursements of $108,757.84.   Our receipts were in excess of our disbursements by $3,578.28.  This resulted in our General Account being positive by $233,359.87.

President Report


-      Mark Molinaro gave the report this month as Mike was at the Huron-Superior Board meeting to present the cheque for the

        breakfast program.


-      Mark gave an update on the Group Health lawsuit.  Mark stated that the GHC does not want Mike to represent everyone.  They

        want  everyone to file their own lawsuit.  If we win this injunction and representative order, we will have to make a decision

        whether to continue going forward with the lawsuit. 

 

The next General Membership Meeting will be held on  November 20th, 2024 at the Delta Hotel at 7:30 pm. This will be our last meeting at the Delta Hotel as we are moving back to the Royal Canadian Legion.
