Calgary Chapter Report - 2022 AGM

March 31, 2022

Respectfully submitted by Penny Hogan

President: Dennis Kozak

Committee Members: Jan Campbell; Richard Dooley; Penny Hogan; Lillian Kozak

RTAM Members: 60

Membership Initiative: Calgary Chapter members reside in Calgary, Airdrie, High River, Lethbridge, Cochrane, Strathmore, and Canmore. However, the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIP) does not permit RTAM to release personal contact information if/when members relocate to Alberta. In December 2020, with the assistance of RTAM administrative staff, RTAM members living in/around Calgary were invited by mail to join our Chapter. As a result, since March 2021 we have welcomed 8 former Manitobans to the Calgary Chapter.

In February 2022, the Calgary Chapter Membership list was reviewed again with RTAM administrative staff. An invitation to join Calgary Chapter was mailed out to 29 prospective members living in and around Calgary.

Activities: After a long Covid imposed damper on in-person gatherings, a catered turkey dinner luncheon was held on November 24, 2021 at Winston Golf Club in Calgary. We were honoured to welcome guest speaker Bill Cann, RTAM President. In the group of 20 attendees were 6 of the 7 new members of the Chapter. Renewing old friendships, and meeting new acquaintances kept the room buzzing with conversation. The Calgary Chapter is appreciative of the Chapter Initiative Grant received in January 2021, which helped make this gathering possible.

On March 24, 2022, a luncheon was attended by 18 individuals. The guest speaker was Ryan Mickuki of Trip Merchant .

The Calgary Chapter meets four times each year, to renew acquaintances, welcome new members and to listen to speakers on topics of interest to the group.

Typically, our get-togethers are held at restaurant venues in Calgary, with an average attendance of 20. If you have recently retired and relocated to the Calgary area, or if you have lived in Calgary for years, but have not yet come out to a get-together, we hope you will consider joining us at our next event.

A phone call to Jan (403-909-7402)or an email to Penny (literacyplus@shaw.ca) will put you in touch!
