2021-2022 - Herb Herder Donna Dosman Doug Kroetsch
We would like to recognize our Past, Past President - Doug Kroetch, Past President, Herb Herder & President - Donna Dosman for their ongoing leadership, expertise and loyalty throughout the trying times of the pandemic. Together, they were essential to our ongoing success and key pieces to SPCC being able to pivot throughout the very trying times of Covid. Together, they tackled big decisions, acquired better governance, checked off the tasks we must do, looked at the things we wanted to do and continue to look to the future for what we need to do. Our Presidents accomplished the many tasks at hand - one mouthful at a time. Thank you Doug, Donna and Herb for being loyal leaders!

This year our very deserving volunteer of the Year award recipient is Allison McKinnon. Allison has served on the executive committee for the past two years as the Clubs secretary, and did a wonderful job of fulfilling the duties of that position.

Outside of her role on the executive, Allison has done a lot of work with the seniors league, and volunteered for countless other events over the years. Thank you Allison for all the time and effort you’ve given to the Club!
