EMR Board of Directors meeting, June 2020

The Board meeting was held on June 16th, 2020 at Patricia’s house at 1:00 p.m. Unfortunately, the EMR AGA of April had to be canceled due to COVID-19. However, the 2020-21 Executive Board appointments were designated as follows: President: Patricia Thibodeau, Vice-president: Gisèle Grégoire, Secretary: Jocelyne Fraser, Treasurer: Rose-Marie Iafolla, Advisers: Denis Gautron/Marc Beaudry/Arsène Huberdeau/Lucille Daudet-Mitchell (communications) and Past President: Guy Gagnon.

We took advantage of the meeting to observe a minute of silence to commemorate Raymond Bisson, who had been our vice-president for the las few years. We miss him very much.

We established our Calendar of Activities for 20202021 as outlined in the list below (provided that there are no more restrictions due to COVID-19). As you know already, we had to cancel our meeting in September. • October 22, 2020: Visit to the Anne Mulaire’s

Accueil francophone regarding their challenges, expectations, etc. • December 17, 2020: Christmas dinner and sing along at Canad Inns Parc Windsor. • April 15, 2021:EMR AGM at Windsor Park Canad

Patricia presented us with a copy of the Répertoire du concours de français compiled by Normand Boisvert that we reviewed with great interest. Some of us on the executive were proud to show that our name appeared in the book. We will make sure to bring it to all our activities so that our members can review it. Also, we decided to form a committee that would conduct a survey of our members in order to get a better idea of their needs, interests and expectations of the Council. It was decided that the membership fee for the year 20202021 would remain the same this year payable on the expiration date of the membership.

We look forward to seeing you again at our activity on October 22nd. – Your EMR 2020-2021Council
