20 The IFP · Halton Hills, Thursday, March 29, 2012 SENIORS LIFESTYLES Acton Seniors elect new 2012 board of directors By JULIE CONROY Acton Seniors Centre The Acton Seniors Recreation Centre's 2012 Annual General Meeting was held on Wednesday, March 21. President Bev Jones welcomed everyone and introduced Town of Halton Hills Councillor Jon Hurst, who brought regrets from Mayor Rick Bonnette who was unable to attend. Nancy Dunbar, supervisor of Marketing and Customer Service, brought greetings on behalf of Recreation and Parks Director Terry Alyman, who was also unable to attend. Bev also introduced the board. The Centre's co-ordinator Wendy Krever made a very catchy budget presentation explaining where the monies raised at the Centre come from and where they go. Wendy said she would welcome any questions you might have if you were unable to attend. Wendy also explained the need for accreditation. It is very timeconsuming, but necessary, and our future funding will rely on gaining accreditation. There were several vacant positions on the board and a new board member Joan Blight was elected as Program Chair. Real Teatreault will remain on as Social Chair, Connie Fix as Secretary, Pat Frizzell as Treasurer, Betty Green as Travel Chair and Julie Conroy as Public Relations Chair. These are all two-year terms. In the second year of a two-year term are: President Bev Jones, Vice-President Dave Maloney, Past-President Mary Walsma, Reception Chair Suzanne BlanchetHaffey, Membership Chair Dolores Wright and Fundraising Chair Sylvia Mitchell. On a sad note we would like to extend our condolences to Mae Milton's husband Don and family. We will miss Mae playing the cards at the Centre.
