Hot off the presses… the poster for Thursday April 16th information night @ M.M. Robinson High School in Burlington:

PIC Poster April 16th, 2009

Have YOUR say….

As part of a review re: what is working at OFHSA and what isn’t… the Board of Directors has sent out a survey to members asking “to the point” questions. The idea is simple – FEEDBACK from as many members as possible.

I have uploaded the question sheet so you can print and send a completed copy into the office. You can find it under the “THINGS TO PRINT tab strong>.

Why not spend a couple of minutes and do this… please forward to your members as well.
This is a direct way to be involved in HOW OFHSA works and where the focus over the next couple of years will be.
