Stephen Klein, president of the Glen Abbey Residents‘ Association, ended speculation Monday night that he would not be running for a reâ€"election to GARA‘s Board of Directors. "I will be seeking reâ€"election as a director of GARA‘s board at the Annual General Meeting," Klein stated at the monthly board meeting at Pilgrim Wood School. "I am proud to be part of this board, and want to put into the community what I want out of the community." (GARA held its annual meeting last night and election results were not available at press time.) The association is kicking off its year of special events with a night at the Blue Jays â€" Baltimore Orioles baseball game on May 6th. The board has purchased 500 tickets which will be sold to residents at $15 each and include a bus ride to and from the SkyDome. Klein, nominated by the board for the Mayor‘s Volunteer of the Year Award, will be seeking his third term on the board. He has served one term as president.

Erwin suggested, as an alternative, organizing a famiâ€" ly night in conjunction with the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre on New Year‘s Eve. Director, Wendy Perkins, later said that she regarded one of GARA‘s functions was to contribute to "sense of community", and that the losses incurred were "no risk to the financial picture." DEDICATE BENCHES This spring, GARA will be dediâ€" cating the seven benches it purâ€" chased for the Glen Abbey parks and trails. Each bench will have a plaque bearing the name of a past GARA president. The benches and the biggest loser. The board is rethinking running this event acain. According to Fitzsimmons, because of rain and the soggy conâ€" ditions of the ground, the trucks bringing in the rides for the event damaged the fields, so GARA fixed the area and replaced the sod. o .
