March 22, 1991 Glebe Report - 6 ,111\. OZAI Your Invitation to..... The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group Annual General Meeting

It is becoming increasingly difficult for an individual to directly affect the quality of life outside the home. G.N.A.G. sponsored recreational activities do affect the quality of life in the Glebe.

G.N.A.G. is a neighbourhood, volunteer, non-profit organization. Its mandate is recreation not politics. All Glebe residents and business owners are automatically members.

Volunteer work with G.N.A.G. can serve as an outlet where an individual can affect the life in our neighbourhood.

At the Annual General Meeting a new Executive Board will be elected. G.N.A.G. needs people to sit on this board. It also needs people to help with particular events, such as the Snowflake Special; people to help with particular courses, such as children's recreational soccer; people to give advice, share their expertise, etc. when it comes to programme planning, handling ac- counts, input to the Glebe Community Centre renovation plan and many other things.

If you have benefited in the past from one of the many G.N.A.G. sponsored courses, or whether you simply wish to help in your neighbourhood, please consider volunteering. Leave your name, number and area of interest at the Glebe Community Centre.

G.N.A.G. needs the efforts of many people to ensure its continued success.
