Naomi Pahl made a passionate pitch for residents to become Block Connectors and link up with their neighbours at the McCauley Community League AGM on April 22.

About 60 residents attended the League AGM to get an update about activities in the neighbourhood over the past year and talk about future activities and challenges.

Naomi is the new Neighbourhood Connector for Abundant Community McCauley sponsored by the League. She’s recruiting volunteer Block Connectors throughout McCauley who’ll be bringing neighbours together to work on activities to improve their block.

For example, on my street, Block Connector Carolyn and Naomi are organizing residents to make flower boxes as part of a back alley beautification party.

To connect with Naomi, email her at abudantcommunitymccauley@gmail.com.

At the AGM, three new members were elected to the League Board – Aya Yashima, Adam Snider and Greg Lane. Current board members Shauna Forsyth, Rosalie Gelderman, Darren Pielak, Jill Hoselton, Dan Glugosh, Grace Kuipers, Albert Bernard, and Phil O’Hara were re-elected.

Thanks to Elizabeth McEwan, Mike Van Boom, Randy Loewen, and David Williamson who served on the board for part/all of 2016.

At the first League Board meeting, Jill was elected the new Secretary, Greg the new Vice-President, while Shauna remains the Treasurer, and Phil the President.

You’re invited to attend the League Board meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Boys’ & Girls Club board room or go to our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/mccauleycommunityleague.

Phil is President of the MCL.
