This past Fall has been extremely busy for your executive as we have transitioned our Association – BCRPVPA – from a part of the BCPVPA to a separate Association with its own financial and ‘naming’ distinction. Officially, we are still the BC Retired Principals. & Vice-Principal’s Association but now a registered society as well.
Our accounting will be done at LLC Caulder. Our accountant will be completing our quarterly reports, and they will ensure that the T4A’s are provided for our scholarship and bursary winners. Our annual taxes will be filed in accordance with the Canada Revenue Agency expectations. Lanny Young, our dedicated Treasurer, has opened an online CRA account in the BCRPVPA’s name and our accountant has access for filing.
This separation meets the expectations of the BCPVPA and we are pleased to continue to use the Board room for our executive and general meetings.
Since Viva Engage is no longer viable, we are hoping to connect and communicate with members more frequently using a different application. Facebook was suggested as one way for retired principals to connect. The executive is looking for other suggestions for consideration. If you use a connection application in another aspect of your retired life, that you feel is effective, please let us know at info@bcrpvpa.ca
During executive meetings there is now time allotted for members to share their thoughts and ideas. We do want to hear from you!
Food is provided and gift card prizes are awarded at our General Meetings, and we hope to see more participants on-line or in person. Consider a group gathering when tuning in our next general meeting on March 13th. Should not only be informative, but fun, too!
Looking forward to seeing you there! Deborah Luporini
