Craft Sale in support of Yellow Brick House

We are pleased to announce that the Craft Sale will run from September 30, 2016 to October 6, 2016 while supplies last at Angus Glen Community Centre (see attached flyers).

Badminton Open House - Saturday Sept. 3
Dear AGOAC members, You are cordially invited to the Open House on Saturday September 3rd from 12:00 pm (noon) to 10:00 pm in Angus Glen Community Centre. The Badminton group has been steadily increasing from a few players about 10 years ago to about 120 members before the incorporation of AGOAC in 2014. After incorporation, the Group has further increased to the current size of about 200 members on record. Its popularity is due to its intangible value built up over years and its continuous forward looking to enhance the Group image both internally and externally. Achieving it, the Group has adopted the Club's mission for transparency and fairness through changes, both big and numerous in the past year. The change is big because it has transformed from a close group to an open group which opens arms to welcome all AGOAC members. The change is numerous because its manual registration and operation is replaced by continuous automation. The registration has been gradually changing from emailing to completing registration form online using Google Form. From the Form, the Group is now able to automate the roster, court assignment and attendance list. The automation saves lot of labour, affords them to emphasize on quality use of time in order to manage the Group with 200+ members. Hopefully, the Group will successfully transform to a respectful one which members would like to join. In order to introduce the Group to the members, the Badminton Adhoc Committee have planned the following activities for the day on the basis of FRIENDSHIP FIRST COMPETITION SECOND. All members (including renewed and new members) are reminded to bring their new (Green) membership cards The information for the following programs in the Open House will be updated once more details and the no. of participants are known. Please send all inquiries to agoac.bad88minton@gmail.com
