Winding Down

 

The end of the season is just a few short weeks away.  The Board and the staff of the Club would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for another great year.  We’d particularly like to thank those who have gone above and beyond and done so much more than the basic volunteer time.   There are many of you, but some deserve special mention:

· Lee Phypers, who has spent quite literally hundreds of hours over the last few years as our treasurer.  Lee stepped down at the AGM.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, LEE

· Mary Sullivan, our hard working and dedicated office maven who always has a smile no matter how crazy things are around her THANK YOU

· Bertha Campbell who has done many, many hours of volunteer work for us over the last year, THANK YOU

· Francois Thibeault who came to the rescue when our stereo system broke down during Territorials with a brand new super duper stereo (with an I-pod dock no less) THANK YOU.

· Al Bowerman who donated an exercise machine to the gym, THANK YOU

· Dave Earle, who brought in a vacuum cleaner for us to use while our vacuum was out of commission, THANK YOU

· Michelle Pulvermacher and Todd Shafer who came to the rescue the last Saturday of May to help out with coaching when Ellen hurt her foot and couldn’t coach, THANK YOU

 

 

 SUMMER CAMPS

We still have some spots for most weeks for our summer camp.  We welcome all kids between 6 and 12 years of age, whether or not they’ve ever done any gymnastics previously. 

Camps run weekly Monday to Friday (except long weekends) from June 29th to August 21st from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm.  Activities will include not only gymnastics instruction, but crafts, games, nature hikes, swimming and much more.  Space is limited so register early. 

For more information or for a registration form, contact Mary in the office during office hours or call the gym and leave a message.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES        

For those of you who still may have a few hours to complete, there will be several opportunities at the end of June to help out.  We’re having  and open house in conjunction with Yellowknife’s 75th Anniversary and we could use some help with that on June 28th.  Sign up sheets are up on the board.   Also, on Canada Day, we’re doing our traditional barbeque at the City’s Canada Day Celebrations.  We can always use some help with cleaning in the gym as well.  Sign up sheets are up in the gym for all of these events.
