Have you been wanting to start painting/drawing/creating (again)? Do you need some informal instruction on how to get started? Or do you just need a time and place to get together and begin creating each week?
The Monday Painters meet at the Community Centre on Monday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00. Some sketch, some paint, some collage or create cards. It’s a time to just make art, perhaps to inspire for the rest of the week, or just to spend two hours a week practicing and creating. As people have inquired about lessons we’ll be offering some guidance, introductory lessons. We’ll begin meeting from October 21 to Dec. 16. The cost is $25 for the two months, plus a MICCS 2024 membership. You can register on the MICCS site or bring payment on October 21. Contact Dell at [email protected] for more information.

When the Mayne Island Community Centre was built, there were plans made for a possible extension of the building in the future. Adding on to the current building to create additional spaces that would be useful and beneficial to our Mayne Island Community is very exciting. If you are interested in participating in a working group to design a survey to obtain community feedback on what a Phase Two could look like for the Mayne Island Community Centre, please email [email protected] by October 20, 2024. Thank you.

Attention community courts users, we've had multiple reports of people playing sports outside the 9am-7pm open window. Out of respect for our neighbors in the long warm days of summer, we feel we need to be a little more strict in enforcing this policy so we are going to be locking the courts at 7pm and unlocking them at 9am.

Yoga Nidra

The translation of Nidra is sleep.

Winter is the perfect time to cultivate the benefits of this ancient, meditative practice. Dropping into a deep state of conscious relaxation, moving awareness from the external world to the internal reduces brain activity, supporting the release of anxiety and stress.

This class is rejuvenating and nourishing for mind, body and spirit.

4 weeks Tuesday Feb 27th - March 19th 7:00 – 7:50pm, Fee $40

at the Community Centre with Donna Williams.

Message from the New MICCS President, Wayne Peace:

I would like to thank the members of the Mayne Island Community Centre Society (MICCS) for electing me to the Board. I have subsequently been selected by the Board to be President of the Society. I plan to serve diligently with the intent to have as many members as possible use our facilities as frequently as possible. Please forward constructive suggestions to [email protected]

Another note, if you are able, please join my wife and I in making a charitable donation to the MICCS. You may be aware that our endowment value has declined substantially in the past 2 years so that the revenue available may decline. Donations will help us continue to run and expand the services and facilities available.

Finally, membership in the society is on a Calendar basis and ends Dec 31rst. Please renew in January to continue supporting and using our wonderful facilities.

NOTICE re: Proxy Voting Working Group

At the AGM on December 3, the voting practices were discussed, in particular the use of proxy votes on behalf of members who could not make the AGM. As a result, it was agreed that a small working group of members would review and consult with members about our current practice and provide recommendations for change. Current practice, in accordance with the MICCS bylaws, is that anyone can become a member and that voting by proxy is allowed.

The BC Societies Act requires that any change with regard to how membership is defined or voting by proxy will need a change to our bylaws, and a change to our bylaws requires a special resolution which must be passed by a 2/3 majority. Any special resolution will have to be circulated to the members with the notice of a general meeting, which must be at least two weeks in advance.

As a member you will be consulted on the definition of membership and proxy voting practices. The working group will use this feedback to develop resolutions for the special meeting. In terms of timelines, we hope to have the working group’s report and recommendations distributed to members by mid-March 2024 and a meeting held in April 2024 before the next AGM.

If you are interested in participating in the working group, please contact the board by emailing [email protected].

There will be other working groups formed to discuss changes to the constitution and minutes process and an email will go out about those in due course.

Sincerely,
MICCS Board
