There is always a lot of criticism of the CFC, much of which is deserved, and skepticism about its future.
But last year the CFC made lots of hard decisions on restructuring the CFC, and have now given us some financial breathing room.
As well, I think some acknowledgement should be given to the current administration's modest steps forward in the 2 months since the July AGM:
1. captain and coach named for the WYCC team;
2. e-newsletter editor in place, and first Issue due in 2 1/2 wks;
3. executive working on a revised surplus budget ( first in 5 years );
4. attempting to contact the Masters' Rep, Governor Eddie Urquhart, to develop some National Standards for the Closed, to be part of bids;
5. Eric today struck an " AGM Committee " to modernize our AGM voting/meetings, and to hopefully do away with the proxy system;
6. getting our office outsourcing contractor, EK Gillin, onto the website virus thing in a timely fashion;
7. CFC Youth Committee of organizers across the country struck by Michael Barron to oversee CFC's youth programs; and
8. ratings continue to be updated in good time, and memberships renewed when sent in.
The CFC is far from perfect, but I think members have some reason to be optimistic that CFC matters will progress in reasonable fashion in the coming year.
