CONVENTION 2025 UPDATE
Attended ABNWT Convention in Stoney Plain, May 2 - 5, 2025 and also a couple of workshops as we arrived late Friday. Attended Parade and business sessions Saturday and Sunday.
New Command Executive is:
President: Dave Velichko
1st VP: Scott Sadler
Vice Presidents: Kelly Lindbrek, Bob Peterson, Tim Penny
Treasurer: Bill Hart
Chairman: Terry Kyzyl
Branch of the Year: Red Deer
Hugh Greene Award: Innisfail
There were reports from all past executive and District Commanders. Poppy which had a lot of discussion re use of poppy funds as well as AGLC use of charity funds.
There was discussion on sharing casino funds with smaller branches but was defeated.
Recommend that our Branch #285 send more delegates to the next convention as a learning experience to find out what we can do as Branches for membership, donations from poppy and AGLC funds.
Also who we can donate, too, and responsibilities of branches on outreach and stop being the old boys club and be more welcoming to new members. Also appreciation of volunteers who are sometimes not shown recognition for their efforts.
All said and done, it was a good convention and I look forward to attending the 100-year-anniversary in Winnipeg in 2026. I hope we can send the entire executive to that one.
Respectfully Submitted,
Duncan MacKenzie
1st Vice President
Centennial Branch 285 RCL
