SEEKING NOMINATIONS FOR TREASURER:
Long serving member and volunteer Scott MacPhail would like to take a well-earned break from the role of Treasurer. We are looking for nominations for this role. The work of our Treasurer involves:
- Accepting/depositing annual member dues
- Maintaining the membership list
- Providing an update of accounts at quarterly board meetings
- Submitting annual paperwork as required for registered societies
If you are interested to apply your administrative skills, or learning some new ones, please put your name forward. Experience is not necessary, as Scott will guide you and continue to be available for advice.
ANNUAL DUES:
Part of the VicPS $30 annual dues go to the BCPA for services like the newsletter and maintaining the BCPA website. It’s important for us all to pay our annual dues for 2024 by January 31st so that Scott may cut a cheque to the BCPA in advance of its AGM later in February. Please renew your annual dues by January 31st at the latest by:
e-transfer to Scott MacPhail at scott_macphail@telus.net or by mailing a cheque to:

All annual memberships expired as of Dec. 31, 2018. Reminders to renew your membership have been sent every month in the meeting agenda since January 2019. Many of you have renewed, and thank you.
Our revised Constitution and by-laws state that a member is not in good standing if the member fails to pay their annual membership dues, and the member’s membership in the society is terminated if the member is not in good standing for 6 consecutive months. This means that June 30, 2019, is the cut-off date.
