Message from the President - October 2002

I would like to introduce you to Joan Conway, Tina Keohane and Karen MacKechnie who have agreed to organize a wonderful Fall Fair for our community. These activities really demonstrate to our children community spirit and cooperation. We are still looking for other people to join our Executive. Specifically the position of Sports Director and Vice President are vacant. If you enjoyed the soccer and T-ball programs we coordinate in the spring, perhaps you would like to join our team. We are presently investigating the possibility of having workshops on hockey and figure skating at our outdoor rink this winter. This would be a great opportunity to let your kids have lessons right in the community. If you have suggestions, special skills &/or would like to join us, please call Alice at 829-6127.

The City of Ottawa hs recently given us more funding to run the rink. Along with this funding comes added responsibility for snow removal. We will be looking for a Snow Removal Contractor to remove snow on Lynwood rink. We are interested in making our rink a great centre for skating but we need your help. Ice maintenance and flooding are huge tasks. We are thankful to have our Director Brian Hickman back in charge of the ice. Last year he battled extreme weather conditions to create and maintain an ice surface. The more volunteers we have the quicker we can get the ice surface up and available for your kids. The city has agreed to resurface our rink over the course of the next 3 years so our ice should be even better. Please contact Alice if you are interested in helping with the ice at 829-6127

This Fall has brought an increase in vandalism to our neighborhood. Please read about free home security inspections and keep an eye on your neighborhood.
