A motion was put to the floor to ask the membership for their support and donate $1000. to the Port Alberni Junior Hockey Society.  It was discussed and later passed.  Presentation of the cheque will be done at the next PAJHS Event.

A common theme to the executive reports and new business discussed was… MORE HELP WANTED!

The draw for a free registration was won by Nicki Bezanson

If you register after June 1st you will be paying $150. more to register. 

Why so much? 

• We want you to sign up early!  Last year a difference of $50. between early and late registration did not make much difference.

But I don’t have money to register now. 

• Register anyway.  You have until August 15th to pay for the registration.

I need funding for my kids to play hockey. 

• Register now and apply for the funding at the same time.

When and where can I register?

• We are accepting registrations before and after the AVMHA Annual General Meeting Monday May 14th 7:00 pm at the Best Western Barclay Hotel.  There will also be one or two more public registration nights before the end of May (TBA).

• You can also follow the instructions on the Registration Page and use PayPal to make the payment

What do they have to do?

• The PAJHS is on an aggressive 45 day campaign to raise $500,000. by June 1st.
  
• See if the people of the Alberni Valley want to own and operate our Junior A hockey team locally as a non-profit society.

How?
