Area B42 – Rural Sask


Clubs of Area B42

• Indian Head – 14 members, 6 over 10 years

• Yorkton – 12 members, distinguished last year @ 20, like new club this year – 6 returning members, only 3 with over 1 year experience

• Moosomin – 6 members, 4 over 10 years, have not renewed yet as < 8


Geographic rural challenges

• Inter-club bonds a struggle due to distances (currently non existent)

• Distance makes it challenge to associate far reaching clubs with Regina based programs

• Some individual members distance challenged just to attend club meetings

• Help via Regina huge commitment in time and travel – if requested (DG to Yorkton for COT)

• Severe winter weather compounds issues


What I have committed

• View this as 2 year project • Grow clubs, ensure program solid - stabilize• Increase visits to 1 or 2 per month

(act as AG/Mentor/Coach)• Create bond to Division thru AG personal

contact, remove the “Guy from Head Office”• Introduce my replacement early into term to

ensure fluid transition (Ast Gov Marc Bieri)


Marketing and Public Relations

• Local newspapers – IH current, M plan• Local organizations – M current• Facebook – Y, M• Speechcraft – Y contemplating• Word of mouth invites – Y, M, IH

Moosomin C of C presentation has solicited guests

Yorkton experiencing good guest visits


Club Extension

• Low on my radar, but potential in Melville• May conflict with Yorkton drawing area• Strengthen Yorkton before attempting Melville

(plus need to encourage/create next DTM hopefuls to act as Mentor/Sponsors)

• Possibly late spring 2015, probably 2016
