Beginnings will hold their 40th annual membership meeting on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. at Beginnings Octagon in Briceland.

Members, community supporters and all people interested in Beginnings are invited to join the board and staff for coffee, tea and refreshments.

The major discussions this year will be the ongoing vision and operation of Beginnings and our community vision: where do we want it to go and how do we reach out to be more inclusive? This is an opportunity to ask questions and share ideas. No crisis, no devastating controversy, just a mission to promote and encourage community services with a vision that is alive and well and has been for over 30 years.

The winning ticket from the ongoing firewood raffle will be pulled from the jar and announced.

Remember that a thriving community is the responsibility of everyone.
