CORE AGM May 2020
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

April 22nd, an email was sent out to all CORE members updating you on the COVID-19 situation and How the Executive proposes to hold the May 2020 AGM. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Per the rules of Society, CORE is required to have 4 members fill the following positions of an Executive – Chair, Secretary, Treasure, Membership. We have nominations for Chair, Secretary and Membership Coordinator. CORE still needs a member to volunteer for the treasurer position<\/strong>. The treasure position requires reasonable computer skills. It does not matter if you are fairly new to the club, there are experienced members on the Executive and new ideas would be more than welcomed. For further information about this position, please contact Mike(chair person) per email sent out. The deadline is April 29, 2020. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We still need nominations for other executive positions, but more information regarding all of the executive positions and the AGM will be sent to you in the near future. But right now our main priority is to make sure we have the 4 vital positions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Car Pooling Contribution Rate Revised Effective January 22, 2020<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

CORE executive revised the car pooling $contribution rate as of January 22, 2020. The new contribution rate is one set rate of, $0.25 cents\u00a0per km.\u00a0\u00a0 CORE executive will re-visit if vehicle expenses go up.<\/span><\/p>\n

CORE’s Car Pooling guideline, is to contribute per kilometer multiplied by two times the distance, from the meetup place to the trailhead, multiply by .25 cents then divide by the number of people in the vehicle. For more information on\u00a0car pooling and locations go to CORE Carpooling guideline. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When car pooling, if the road has been very dusty, slushy\u00a0or muddy, you should help your driver\u00a0out by giving an extra loonie ($1.00) or toonie ($2.00)\u00a0for a vehicle\u00a0wash. Your driver will appreciate this gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valley Ridge Community Parking Lot<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

CORE uses the Valley Ridge Community parking lot for car pooling. CORE has been asked by the community association, when we leave our vehicles at this parking lot, to park near the east end of the lot. By the entrance to the parking lot. This is to increase safety for the “in and out” skaters accessing their gate near the west end of the lot.\u00a0 The two\u00a0outdoor arena’s, above this community parking lot, creates heavy vehicle and foot traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n
