Committee volunteers needed in Strathcona

The Strathcona Centre Community League’s 2016 annual general meeting (AGM) is Monday, November 14, 2016 at 8pm. The AGM is open to all league members, volunteers and neighbours. There are a number of board positions open for election each year, and we always have a need for committee volunteers too. For a full list of positions open and committees in need of volunteers, please see our previous post. This post is all about the most-needed committee volunteer positions.

Neighbourhood Liaison – This is a new committee tasked with coordinating better outcomes for neighbours in relation to large community events, such as festivals. Strathcona is home to one of the city’s busiest shopping districts, a popular farmers’ market and many festivals. We know there’s work to be done to ensure neighbours enjoy these events as much as visitors do.

There is a current chair letting their name stand for re-election. We could use a couple of interested volunteers to help fill out the committee, bringing forward ideas and plans for large events and festivals, setting goals and outcomes for neighbours and working with the City of Edmonton, festivals and other interested parties on making these events feel like a perk, not an annoyance, to living in Strathcona.

Volunteers needed for the committee. (4+ hours/month)

*

Soccer – This is the committee responsible for organizing indoor and outdoor soccer for children in Strathcona.

There is a current chair letting their name stand for re-election. We can always use a good roster of interested volunteers to help coordinate all the games and activities for our young soccer players.

Parents of soccer players and volunteers are always needed.

The following are committees of the board which may be in need of volunteers. Chair positions are also up for election on November 14, though current volunteers are putting their names forward as candidates. (For a list of vacant board positions, see our post about the most-needed volunteer roles.)

Membership – This is the committee responsible for selling and tracking our league memberships, and coordinating volunteers for door-to-door sales.

*

Programs – This is the committee responsible for programming related to children, sports and families including our rink and City of Edmonton camps and programs.

*

Safety – This is the committee responsible for working with Edmonton Police and other safety agencies in the neighbourhood.

Volunteers are always welcome for these and other committees of the league. Please contact a current board member if you have any questions about volunteering your time.
