28. Thanks: During the year we depend on local media to help in promoting our meetings and to communicate with our members and the general public. We, therefore, acknowledge the following and thank them for their excellent cooperation during 2009: The Telegram, VOCM Radio, CBC Radio, Rogers Cable, What’s Happening, and The Coffee News.

29. Conclusion: This report concludes with this Annual General Meeting at which a Report from the Nominating Committee will be presented and the election of members to the 2010 Board of Directors will take place. Thanks are due to all members of the Board of Directors who served for the past year. I hope the above summary suggests that those elected to serve you have tried to fulfill our mandate to the best of our ability. Much time has been devoted to the various activities which we hope will have some positive impact for those of us who are members of CARP but more generally in the fifty-plus age group.
