Heavy snow in Vancouver and the surrounding area pushed it back, but on March 4, 2018, the Vancouver HSS branch “Ivan Gundulić” held its annual meeting.
For quite a few years now, this gathering of HSS members has been one of friendship and co-operation. What pleases me is that most members don’t try to dodge the duties of office, so electing new committees is quick and painless.
The annual meeting itself was truly brief, chaired by long-time member Stipe Duralija, and it was followed by what has become our customary spread: roast suckling pig, all kinds of salads, sweets, coffee and so on. Good homemade wine and sauerkraut were there in abundance.
Highlights:
- the first woman to serve as a branch president in Canada was elected.
- cooking and washing the dishes afterwards are strictly men’s work.
All in all, a very successful annual meeting.
The names of the executive committee members are listed under the “Vancouver” link on this website.
