A. You can participate as little, or as much as you want, and each member will work within the scope of their availability. Some projects take only a little lead up work and others take weeks and months of planning.
The board officers meet twice a month and do so in person or virtually, depending on members schedules, as we are a flexible bunch! There are conferences and meetings held by the Canada Western Region that are optional based on your interest. No matter how little or how much time you have, we encourage members to get involved in a program or project they feel passionate about and will have fun doing! We consider ourselves an active club comprised of 'givers and doers,' but we also encourage fun, camaraderie, social opportunities, community togetherness and a fulfilling experience.
Q. How do you raise funds?
A. We raise funds by applying for grants and through organizing fundraisers. We will also be reaching out to businesses at certain times of the year for sponsorship or donations toward silent auctions and raffles. Sponsors can also choose to donate to the cause any time of year directly through this website or by emailing us at info@sisouthdelta.org
Q. How do I become involved in a cause or committee? What opportunities are available?
A. To express your interest in a specific cause or committee, or to bring forward your own ideas for fundraising, the best way is to email us or ask at a meeting.
