Are you a member of the CRA? Would you like to be? Both are invited to attend the association’s Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, June 13, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Stout Irish Pub, 221 Carlton Street.

Why go to this AGM? Five great reasons.

1. It’s fun! There are great nibbles provided and a complimentary drink ticket for each member who attends – with annual membership at $20 annually per household, let’s just say membership has its privileges.

2. You get to hear a year-in-review of accomplishments of the neighbourhood and its signature events, from Pumpkin Walk to Forsythia Festival.

3. You can vote to approve the slate for Board of Directors. These are volunteers who put in reams of donated time to keep everything running for the association, from our social events to our advocacy work with city hall and departments such as police and parks & recreation.

4. You can help us shape the next year’s direction for the association. The board directors need to set the association’s focus based on what’s important to our members: and only you can provide that information.

5. We keep the business short so we can have time to visit with one another and celebrate our community. Please, do join us!
