Vancouver Civic Engagement
Vancouver Chapter has been inactive since last year. There have been challenges including illness, time factors and personal reasons. The most prominent challenge that lies ahead the Vancouver Chapter is recharging and group members coming together to define common grounds and revisit the purpose of our local chapter. Many of the Chapter Members in Vancouver have individually joined membership with Saving Our Soul (SOS) Villages and new initiatives. A Father’s Day Picnic was arranged by the local SOS group in June as a BASANT event to raise funds and was very successful in getting good turnouts. Early spring I received call one of our youth member seeking support and advice on getting more turn out for the youth group. She also expressed her frustration in running into cultural glitches in putting this group together. I gave her some suggestions and referred her to some young adults that I knew. I have emailed the Vancouver Chapter Group earlier to encourage their assistance. I think it would be great to have a co-chair model with one adult and one youth to recharge the group. Upon the return of our Vancouver representatives, it has been suggested that we plan a get together to decide the future of Vancouver Chapter. We will keep you informed on any updates. There were no membership dues collected as there has been no activity in the group. I have been informed by Shelina Nealani, our treasurer that our financial status remains the same as of last year. |
