Aldergrove Legion 265 members
Dear comrades,
Recently, your executive has formed a new committee to look into possibilities for
branch 265 going forward.
This past year has been hard for all and there have been struggles for a lot of
branches just to survive.
With luck, the covid-19 restrictions will be lifted soon and things can go back to
normal. The new "Progress
Committee" has met a few times and would like your thoughts on some options
they've considered;
Option one: make no changes to the branch
With this option, we believe over time some change will be needed...
Membership has increasingly dropped over the years as well as revenue in the
lounge and hall.
Option two: continue to operate status quo, but rent out the hall (possibly a daycare
or restaurant or other
organization) to increase revenue
This added revenue would help our bottom end and allow us to stay in place
The downside to this would be the loss for us of the ability to hold multiple functions
at one time.
Option three: develop the property
This we would likely need to find a partner (developer) to help fund the development.
This would not happen for some time and we would need to find a suitable alternate
place to occupy while
development took place.
Option four: sell the property, invest our money and lease a smaller building
This would suit our shrinking member base and allow some added revenue from the
invested funds.
The downside is that we would most likely have a smaller space to occupy.
Option five: sell the property and rebuy an alternate smaller building
This could help with added funds and suit our smaller member base but again would
likely put us in a smaller
building.
We would like your input into these ideas. PLEASE INDICATE YOUR PREFERRED
OPTION or another option to any
committee member below. In the next 30 days we will be discussing these options
and more if any ideas are
introduced. Feel free to contact any of the committee members with ideas, thoughts
on the matter.
This is YOUR BRANCH, please get involved and let's do what's best for it.
Regards,
265 Progress Committee
