Board member Savannah Dewolf has reluctantly stepped down from her position for personal reasons. At last night’s Director’s Meeting, the Board appointed Richard Dyer to take her place. We welcome Richard! (Savannah will continue in her role managing our sales.)

To those who volunteer at Langley, Richard is a familiar face, helping Mechanic Sean Keating around the shop. By trade he is a heavy equipment operator. We know him as someone who is greatly interested in the mechanical side of the Society’s operations and know he’ll contribute greatly to our success during his term as Director.

So, another year has come and gone. We’ve done some remarkable things, and we’ll continue to more remarkable things in 2026. This will be the last blog post for this year, so on behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to wish all our members a Happy Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

This past Friday (7th May 2025), members met to elect a new Board of Directors. Two members of the old Board decided not to seek re-election: TMS wants to thank Sue & Lawrence Walker for their service as directors and their guidance in its affairs. (Although they will ‘step back somewhat’ from their other roles within the Society, they will still be active members. Sue will help in Sales, Lawrence will continue to organize our Events attendance.)

Members re-elected the remaining six directors; they elected Evan Russell and Savannah Dewolf to fill the remaining two seats. Welcome, Evan & Savannah!

The new Board then elected the Executive positions: Bryan Larrabee returns as President; Michael Taylor-Noonan as Vice President, Angus McIntyre as Treasurer and Jason Sharpe as Secretary.

The Board met in-camera on Sunday, 9th March, to fill various positions within the Society. At the Friday meeting, members were asked to show interest in being appointed to these positions. For some roles, the Board felt a committee would best be able to handle the responsibilities, in other cases the role was given to one person to act alone or as a ‘supervisor’ to those who generously offered to help. Over the next few weeks, we’ll organize things, and get everyone ‘up to speed’.
