 ~~  PRESIDENT'S REPORT ~~ 
 
 
Welcome! Welcome to our Annual General Meeting.
I am indeed happy to see all here. In looking back we have had another
great year. Thanks to the support of my executive and the community at
large. Also thanks to Lincoln Chan for the website. He was able to
support and promote our events. Thank you Lincoln!
 
The season of All Fours was good and tonight we will be handing
out Carrying Trophies. I also want to recognize WISA as the League
Champions for the 2018 season. Congratulations WISA!
 
The Western Championship went well. The game was a huge success.
Edmonton and Calgary enjoyed themselves. Derek and Henry were
happy with our hospitality. Thanks to Beth and Ken Mungal for the
Friday night and all those who helped. Thanks to Suresh, Ken and
Lincoln who helped with the entertainment. Also thanks to those who
prepared the food. The ladies did a great job. A big thank you to 
 Kathleen Castello who did a wonderful job with the scoring.
 
The MAA golf fundraising was a success. Ed and his team at Inwood Golf
Course were very helpful.
 
Once again the sponsors came forward. Thanks for all who helped. Our
fundraising was healthy enough and we were able to make a donation to
the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.
 
The Curry-Q was well attended and everyone enjoyed themselves.
 
As we look forward to next year's tournament we are appealing to
someone to help with the scoring stats. Please, we need some help.
 
Let's hope that we have a year of fun, competive cards and enjoyment.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
