Hello Neighbours and Happy New Year!
A new year is upon us. We hope that you had a safe and joyous holiday season.
As we return to our regularly scheduled lives, your community association has been working on plans for the coming year. Part of these plans include social events at the Acadia Recreation Complex. As mentioned in last month’s newsletter, one of our guiding principles is to make meaningful connections with you – our residents and members.
Introducing ACA Social Nights!
Our first ACA Social Night is scheduled for 5:30 pm on Wednesday, January 11. So, it’s not too late to plan to join us in the ARC’s Social Lounge. This first event will provide an opportunity to introduce our new board members, get to know community topics important to you, and obviously get to meet some more Acadians.
ACA will be hosting this event with some light refreshments and snacks. We hope that you will take time to drop by and we look forward to meeting you.
Annual Winter Carnival
The next community event will be our annual Winter Carnival on Saturday, February 11 at the ARC, so mark your calendars! Last year’s carnival was a great success and we continue to build the carnival based on feedback we’ve received. We are excited for some new partnerships for this year’s event that will help enhance the experience for you!
We Need Your Help!
The real success of our events is dependent on our wonderful community volunteers. We’ve seen amazing results when Acadians come together. If you are available to help in the planning, organizing, or execution, please email us at [email protected].
We’re Seeking a Treasurer
Finally, to provide a quick update on assignments for our new board. We are fortunate and grateful that Keith Simmons, elected in November as vice president, has agreed to take on the role of interim treasurer.
ACA continues to seek a full-time treasurer. If you are interested, please contact us at [email protected]. Alternatively, you can view the details of this role and apply for it on our website at https://Acadia.Community/volunteer.
Activities outlined here are just a few of the programs that the board has been discussing to interest and engage you, your family, and our neighbours here in Acadia. We hope you will join in. If you have ideas for or comments on activities, events, and programming we sure hope you will take a moment to pass along your thoughts.
Please make sure you are following us on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for the latest updates on all things happening. Our social media handle is @acacalgary.
We are looking forward to a fun and active year for you as a resident of Acadia.
Your Acadia Community Association
