RAMC NEWSLETTER RETIREES ASSOCIATION OF MOHAWK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER

CELEBRATING amp HONORING MOHAWK COLLEGE RETIREES

Spring 2019

ldquoTo be or not to be that is the questionrdquo (Hamlet Act III Scene 1 by William Shakespeare)

Dear members of the Retirees Association of Mohawk College (RAMC) Last year RAMC became 25 years old celebrating its anniversary as an Association with a birthday party in November at Fennell Campus Mohawk College This ldquofree to retireesrdquo party was financed dually by the Association and Mohawk College A great time was had by all based on the feedback we received from many of those who attended An added benefit was we had a tour of the newly created eco-friendly building the Joyce Centre for Partnership and Innovation It was great seeing former colleagues and getting caught up on life and times Parking was free As our brochure states the Association was ldquoorganized exclusively for the benefit of its membership and for assisting Mohawk College in its aims and objectives especially as these relate to the support of studentsrdquo Over the years as part of this mandate the Association has fostered many occasions for retirees to connect through its sponsorship of social events such as trips to shows at Stratford Niagara on the Lake St Jacobs and Toronto and locally to Carmenrsquos Another mandate of the Association support of students has been realized through our yearly contributions to student bursaries In fact this has been recognized by the insertion of a plaque on the Donors of Distinction Wall in the rotunda at Fennell campus Also in celebration of the community college 50th anniversary RAMC purchased 3 bricks one to be placed at each campus the monies to be used by the Mohawk College Foundation for student bursaries Some of your yearly membership fee of $2500 has enabled the Association to meet our mandate to students and as well pay for our membership in the Ontario Community College Retirees Association (OCRA) OCRA is the provincial body which works with government agencies to advocate on behalf of college retirees to maintain currency and stability for our pension and health care plans Thus much has been accomplished in the Associationrsquos 25 years We are very proud of our founding members and our retirees who have served on the Board to maintain this active Association for 25 years

However now is the time for a reality check and an answer to the introductory question Our Association has reached a state of instability Despite our many efforts to recruit volunteers we donrsquot have volunteers to fulfill the upcoming vacancies on the Board In fact we have an urgent need for a Treasurer as our current Treasurer indicated she was definitely stepping down as of March 2019 but volunteered to stay on until the June 2019 annual meeting We need members to contribute to the quarterly newsletter assist with updates to RAMC website record minutes of Board meetings maintain the membership data base and help with organization of social events all facets of Board of Director responsibilities This is the reality and without new member volunteers RAMC will simply not be able to continue providing the same level of services and activities that our members expect If anyone is interested inwilling to join the Board particularly as Treasurer we need to hear from you ASAP before the annual meeting via email The future of RAMC is to be a major agenda item at our annual meeting on June 11 2019 and we encourage you come and to be part of that discussion The Board after much discussion and soul searching has seriously considered submitting a resolution to dissolve the Association in 2019-2020 If additional volunteers do not step forward in advance of the RAMC annual meeting on June 11 2019 it will no doubt be the recommendation of the Board that a resolution for Dissolution of the Retirees Association of Mohawk College in 2019-2020 be presented at that meeting Thus the question in relation to the viability of the Association ldquoto be or not to berdquo will be answered by its members Respectfully submitted Donna Dunlop Liz Aldrey Co-Chairs RAMC
