Community Living – North Frontenac AGM

Jeff Green | Sep 03, 2015

It may have been the free breakfast, a restaurant full of clients and their families, the way the agency staff relates to the board and the community, or holding the meeting in the summer.

Whatever the reason was, the Community Living-North Frontenac Annual General Meeting that was held at the Maples Restaurant in Sharbot Lake last Wednesday (August 26) felt more like a party than the statutory meeting that all not-for-profit corporations must hold each year.

Bob Miller, the long-serving chair of the Community Living board, conducted the business end of the meeting. He said that the agency has continued to both serve its clients and encourage a healthy relationship with the broader community this year, and “The books are all balanced, so we're ok on that end as well.”

In his address, Executive Director Dean Walsh talked about some of the events that have taken place over the last year, and about some of the plans for community outreach that are under development.

One of the major outreach programs, the Treasure Trunk store, continues to be a priority. In October, Community Living is sponsoring its first ever fundraising dance, which will be a costume Ball at the Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake on October 24th.
