OCUA BOARD NEWS (AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED):

1) JoAnne McFee has resigned her position on the OCUA board
   of directors. She will be spending more time looking after
   her new baby. I thank JoAnne for all her work in the
   past.

2) We asked Steve Seabrook if he would fill the vacant position
   on the board. Steve has been working as the league secretary
   and at the same time was the top runner up in the election
   last fall. Steve has agreed to take on this new role.

3) Now that Steve has changed positions we need a new secretary
   to help us out at our board meetings. If anyone is interested
   please let me know. Some of the responsibilities for this
   position are:
   - To attend and take minutes for our twice monthly meetings.
   - Prepare meeting agenda
   - Send out meeting reminders

4) Nick Roberts has resigned his position as OCUA's field
   manager. He will continue to do all of the other things
   he normally does but he does not have the time this year
   to work as the field manager. Thanks Nick for the past
   work on this and in everything else you do.

5) Now we need to fill the field manager position. If anyone
   is interested please let me know. Responsibilities for
   this position are varied but include:
   - Acting as OCUA's contact for all of the fields we use
   - Distribute fields to each division for their use in
     the spring/summer season
   - Decide if games must be cancelled due to weather
     conditions resulting in damage to a field or fields.

ULTIMATE FOLK AT WINTERLUDE:

Just to let you know, in case you hadn't already heard through
the grapevine that the boys and I are working on a Winterlude
Snow Sculpture this week, and are in need of some support...

We'll be out tonight and over the next few days from 6:30pm
to 10pm.

Come on by Dows Lake and look for lot #13 and a Chinese
Dragon, and bring something to warm us up!! (alcoholic or
otherwise)

The judging will be on the weekend, so come by Saturday or
Sunday to see how we did!

Thanx,
Karlis
