Polar Bear Brunch
It is time for the Bears to come out of hibernation for a buffet brunch, Jan 15, 2012 at Caffee Zucchero Expresso Bar, 340 Queen St, Ottawa, ON starting at 11:00 a.m.
I hope to see all of the Bears and their friends!
At the Special General Meeting on Oct 16th, it was decided to postpone MOB until after the next A.G.M. in Feb. The current and former MOBs are invited to share their experience being MOB with the group so we can renew interest in the MOB contest. A survey will be taken as well.
The board met last week and again this weekend to review the situation and decide if the contest was financially viable given the number of tickets sold and that only one contestant has stepped forward. It was a difficult choice since the team put so much effort into the contest but a necessary one to protect the club.
Ticket holders can obtain a refund from your ticket seller. I will be at coffee on 02 Oct 11 as well as the next brunch on 16 Oct 11.
The board will be meeting with the sponsors and partners to explain the decision and to settle any outstanding issues.
I want to thank Stephane for stepping forward. It takes courage to be a contestant.
As per the rules, Jimmy continues to be Mr Ottawa Bear until he is replaced or he decides to resign.
The board also decided to hold a special general meeting to take place immediately after the brunch on 16 Oct 11. At this time, the board will seek input from the membership on the future of the MOB contest.
Yours,
Marcel Forget
