The new year is an opportunity to get involved in Weyburn organizations for the first time.

The Weyburn Humane Society is inviting anyone who would like to, to the Annual General Meeting which takes place 7 pm on Wednesday, January 17th, at Hilltop Manor.

"On the agenda that evening, the president starts out giving a message and then we will discuss our fiscal year ending September 30th, 2017," explains Pam Arndt-Schick, President, Weyburn Humane Society.

She adds the Financial review will be presented to the membership, membership voting on the new Bylaw changes and the election of the 2018 Board of Directors.

"We invite anybody and everybody to come on out and check out our annual general meeting and perhaps check out the board if you're interested."

"If you don't want to be on the board that's 100% fine but we are always looking for volunteers to help out with the events, the different fundraising events that we do. If you are at all interested in fundraising that would just be fantastic, just come out and give us your name and we would be delighted to have you."

Arndt-Shick says that Membership Dues can be renewed that evening as well.

A single membership is $15, a family membership is $20 and a seniors membership is $10.
