President's Message January 2026

President’s Message

To All our Members - Near and Far:

Welcome to 2026 and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year to all of you. Our new Executive is not quite in place yet as we are looking for someone to come on board as Treasurer so that we can continue with our voting, however, this is what we have so far:

President: Wilma Jones                               Past President: Steve Baker                        

1^st Vice President: Lori Parker                   2^nd Vice President: Toni Graillon

Secretary: Lynda Moore                              Treasurer: Not yet filled

Continuing Members-At-Large for one more year: Keith Brind, Bev Dube, Wayne McMillan

Still required: 3 positions (2-year positions)

Until we are able to fill the position of Treasurer we are unable to move forward with electing the required Members-At-Large.  Those who are already in place are working hard to come up with new ideas on how to get the Legion on track and we will list the volunteer opportunities shortly and hope you will give some of those consideration and contact us.  As the saying goes… Many hands make light work….

The Treasurer position is complex, but not fulltime, however, we have excellent office help and others to advise and all of us would certainly be willing to assist you in any way that we can.  An understanding of book-keeping and financial procedures are an asset.  Please contact myself, Wilma Jones, at pres.legion109@gmail.com for further information.   

Please be aware if we are unable to obtain a Treasurer, the potential risk is that BC Yukon will place us in Trusteeship and take over the management of the organization.

It is absolutely essential that someone come forward from the membership.

Our next Executive meeting is Sunday, January 11^th at 10:00 a.m. and the General Meeting Sunday January, 18^th at 1:00 p.m.

Yours in Comradeship,

Wilma Jones
