Don worked with our group for quite some time, and has contributed to our success.  We would like to thank him for his contribution both in his time and expertise.

 

PARTIAL WIND-UP GROUP

 

We have recently completed a canvass of our non-voting members to determine how many of our members are in the partial wind-up group.  (We already had information on the voting members).  We would like to thank everyone who responded so quickly to our canvass.  Approximately 40% or 340 of our members are in the partial wind-up group.

 

 

REMINDER

 

Ø      Please continue to advise us if your e-mail address changes or if you know of some other member’s address change, so that no one misses out on receiving the CLPENS Newsletter.

 

Ø      If you have contact information of other ex-Canada Lifers, please forward this e-mail and the CLPENS website to them. The more members we have, the more credible a force we will be in dealing with the Company.

 

 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO A LARGE TURN OUT ON APRIL 27th At THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION-BRANCH 66.
