Issue February 2026

January was a month of appreciation for our members, volunteers, and staff. We held our Annual General Meeting and recognized some of our most dedicated volunteers. We also had our All-Staff meeting, and recognized our staff who have been part of the team for 5, 10, 15, 20, and even 25 years!

Let's see what is happening this month!
