Clan Gunn gathering social evening

Hello all,
Our 22nd annual gathering of Clan Gunn Nova Scotia will be held this year on July 10th at the Stonehame Lodge and Chalets,Nova Scotia. A special treat this year as we will be having a demonstration on wool carding.This is how you take the raw product and bring it to the point where you can make wool sweaters,mitts and things out of.This is something that is steeped in Scottish history and will be a delight to watch how it’s done.This will be presented after the annual general meeting.
The annual meeting itself this year is an important one with two major items needing to be addressed.There will be a proposal to reduce the size of the board of directors to six members as well as a reduction of term of office from three to two.A sub proposal will also be that instead of only two terms as a director,one my re offer for up to three terms before taking a break.
The other item for discussion will be a proposed change in the financial institution we currently have been using.Due to increasing administrative costs now being charged,it is being recommended that we may find it beneficial to move our business to a Credit Union.
So please be prepared to partake in a discussion and vote on these items at the gathering this year.We will attempt to keep the AGM as short as possible as the gathering is about the social side not the stuffy side.
A further update on the scheduling and such will follow in a few days.

Just a reminder or two about the upcoming 21st anual Clan Gunn Gathering.

The event this year is on  SATURDAY JULY 18th and not on sunday as in the past.

Second,we need to know how many are coming to the gathering so we ca order enough food for everyone.The deadline has now been moved to July 10th.

Please contact Sharon Gunn-treasurer- at 506-386-5872( we do have voice messanging) or by email at  isgnn@yahoo.ca.
