Saskatoon Sport District
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S PEN
The year has been very busy with the Saskatoon Sport District Committee members, the Coordinators and the volunteers to continue leading the activities from the 55+ Provincial Games. With that momentum and a little effort of salesmanship by all, there was a 13% increase in membership. Congratulations!! Of course 2012 will be even busier with the Provincial Games in Saskatoon. The Coordinators will have to plan and organize their respective activities in early January as a complete and a detailed schedule will have to be published. Volunteers will be required and facilities booked.
May I take this opportunity to thank the Committee Members, the Coordinators and Volunteers for the dedication and hard work to make our organization very successful and rewarding to participate in.
On behalf of the Saskatoon Sport District Committee, I would like to extend a very Merry Christmas, a Happy and Festive Season and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Please take some time from you busy schedule to share some time with family and friends, plus maybe renew and share experiences with old acquaintances. Memories are good.
