A few updates from our last exec meeting.

Hi all,

I just wanted to provide a couple of updates from our last meeting.  Some of these may impact you financially, so please read carefully.

We have decided to suspend the reimbursement of any Speech Pathology receipts dated after June 30th, so as to give the exec time to draft a functional, fair and transparent reimbursement policy that will actually be used by a broad cross-section of the membership, and that will also not bankrupt the organization.

We will be having a meeting in September to discuss this, and it will be the first item on our agenda.  At this point, the direction we are leaning towards is a bursary with a set amount, similar to how thing are done in Kitchener Waterloo.

Once this is in place, we will communicate the program thoroughly with everyone.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at contactus@dsah.ca

The second news – is that the Boat Cruise is coming up on Friday  August 12th at 6:30pm aboard the Hamilton Harbour Queen.  Celtic Music prodigy Liam McGloshan will be putting in an appearance, and the dinner and dancing will be second to none.  Tickets are only $80 each, and are available by emailing contactus@dsah.ca.

Finally, we are gearing up for our annual DADS barbeque, which this year will be on Saturday August 27th.  It promises to be at least as much fun as last year, but due to some flooding damage in Dundas Driving Park, the location may be changing.  We will keep you posted.  In the meantime, if there are any dads available to help out the day of – specifically in arranging games (soccer, frisbee, etc), for flipping burgers, or for helping set up and take down, it would be very much appreciated.  For more info, or to volunteer, please talk to Mike at dads@dsah.ca

Thank, and as always, we look forward to your feedback – please feel free to leave it in the comments section below.
