FROM YOUR PRESIDENT,
STEVEN JAKYMIW

April Dinner Meeting
Alderman Dave Bronconnier was scheduled to speak to us in April. Unfortunately because of the expected low attendance, it was decided to postpone his talk. The Executive is most concerned with the low attendance at our dinner meetings. If you have any suggestions as to how to improve this situation, please let the Executive know.

May Dinner Meeting
There will be no dinner meeting this month. The speaker we had hoped to get is unfortunately not available and we cannot find a suitable replacement at this time.

June Meeting
With the Oil and Gas Conference in Calgary June 12 to 15, we are hoping to have one of the attendees as a speaker. Details will follow shortly.
