February Executive Meeting, Feb. 23, 2010


Sample of possible W.P. Bate (old site marker)

The Meadowgreen Community Association discussed many issue at the Executive meeting on February 23rd. The following items were discussed and many decisions were made:
a) Soccer - The CA decided to adopt the Saskatoon Youth Soccer job description for use in Meadowgreen. The outdoor soccer registration fees, which will include a free t-shirt, are $40 for the under 6 and under 8 players and $55. for the under 10 players.
b) Newsletter distribution - There are still a few blocks in Meadowgreen that do not have a person to deliver the newsletter. If you can help, contact Pat at 382-6514.
c) Community Barbeque/Safety Fair - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 - Still looking for ideas as to what types of activities to include. If you have any ideas, please pass them on to an Executive member.
d) Meadowgreen (Welcome)Sign - The Executive has decided to place the "Meadowgreen Welcomes You!" sign on the corner of 22nd and Witney Ave. No decision has been made on the type of sign.
e) The W.P. Bate marker - A decision was made to see if a marker could be made that is similar to the Canada Heritage Markers. More investigation is necessary. An example of this sign is the one on 2nd Ave North - the old Western Producer Building.
f) MCA donated $200. to the Mount Royal Collegiate 50th Anniversary Celebration which will be held on September 25th, 2010. More information may be found at www.mountroyal50.com
