This just in from Zone President Mike Cava:

In order to keep the zone running efficiently, every member is required to work two fund raising events every year.  Due to COVID, not enough opportunities were made available to patrollers for the last three years.  On the excel spreadsheet (located here, on the member’s resource page). you can see the number of events that you have to complete and the number that you completed. These have to be completed by the end of September 2022.

Signup are available on the Zone volunteer signup website: https://volunteersignup.org/FPTCF.  Keep checking back to this website as new events are added all of the time.  About 2 weeks before the event I will send a reminder to you, requesting confirmation of your attendance. If you can not attend the event you signed up for, it is your responsibility to find someone to fill that spot. We guarantee the event organiser some many workers, and if we do not meet that commitment that can fine us and take away our license to hold Bingos or Casinos.

If by the end of the year you have not worked your events, you will be considered to be a member in bad standing, we will cash your $100 cheque for each event missed, and you will be required to submit two $150 cheques next year.

The money we raise from these events allows us to keep your Zone dues down, and allows us to purchase needed training equipment ($880 for a back board, $2600 for a smart CPR doll, $300 for training triangulars, $370 Patroller Jackets, $140 for Backpacks) We are in the queue for a Casino in 20222, and that should help with our finances.

Any questions just send me an email: m_cava@telus.net
