Big thanks to all who volunteered at the food bank

Big thanks to all who volunteered at the food bank in January.   Usage over the past few months has increased and I think everyone who did work was kept pretty busy with the filling of hampers.  A reminder that the general meeting is on the 21st of this month at 3:30 p.m. and the annual general meeting will be held directly after the annual meeting.  Anyone can attend the meetings; however if you wish to vote on a motion, you will have to have purchased a membership.  These cost $5.00 and can be purchased any Tuesday during food bank hours or at the meeting on the 21st.
