Board of Directors

Membership Fees

Written by Administrator |

At its September meeting, the Board of Directors reluctantly raised the cost of annual membership from $15 to $20.

Costs have risen for everything from fertilizer to stamps, with fuel prices somewhere in there as well. The recession has made it difficult to raise funds from corporations as well. In short, to continue its work, the CCC must seek additional funds from its members.

We did not take this step lightly, and trust that the increase will not be cause for withdrawing member support for the restoration of a crucial Canadian tree.

Please help us restore the American chestnut to its former glory by renewing your memberships for 2010. The year of expiry is annotated on your address label.

The Board of Directors has unergone some changes in the last few months. Chair Doug McKeen resigned, to be replaced by Mr Murray Alward until the annual general meeting. Mr Ron Casier agreed to be Deputy Chair.

A word also about our Honorary Directors, who nobly support the CCC with their counsel and assistance from distant places. . They generate local interest while supporting the CCC in a variety of ways. Dr Peter Rice has moved to Ottawa but remains a director.

At the last Annual General Meeting we were blessed with younger directors armed with fresh ideas. The next AGM will, we hope, add to our Board more members with new guidance.

New assignments, as decided at the AGM will be posted here in November and also printed in the next newsletter
