Greetings/Bonjour:

Some of you may have missed a week or so while we got the Mac e-mail information over to the IBM, so once again thank you to all the local volunteers who helped to move the office (and ofcourse my long-suffering family).

1. President resigns/Le president a demissione

For personal reasons, Mr. Allan Dean tenured his resignation as FCA president effective December 15, 1998. The interim President is Mr. Al Wills, our former FCA President. He is available to answer any of your concerns at: alwills@islandnet.com. Please change your directories accordingly.

Also, there is a picture of Caroline Labrecque as recipient of a $3000 Hydro Quebec boursary. Felicitations! It also highlights a SkiArc camp to be held this winter.
