Annual AGM and Gala at the Grand Way Events Centre in Wellington County
Wellington County, Friday March 21, 2025 – We had the distinct privilege of hosting our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Gala at the Grand Way Events Centre in Wellington County. The event was a resounding success, with a remarkable turnout and a vibrant atmosphere filled with warm smiles, meaningful conversations, and a true sense of community.
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Henk Vaarkamp as our new President. Additionally, we are excited to welcome Richard Blyeven as one of the new Vice Presidents and Frank Hoftyzer as a returning Vice President of our Executive Board. Alongside these leadership changes, we are also proud to introduce three new directors: Daryl Herlick from Perth District, John Lammers, and John Zekveld, both from Lambton District. We look forward to the fresh perspectives and energy they will bring to our organization.
Following a delicious dinner, attendees were treated to an inspiring performance by the renowned George Canyon, The Country Music icon. His heartfelt Gospel music and uplifting stories left everyone in attendance deeply moved and filled with a renewed sense of faith and hope. His performance was truly a blessing, enriching the evening with a spiritual presence that resonated deeply with all.
As we reflect on this memorable evening, we are excited for the future and the many more incredible moments to come. We encourage everyone to stay engaged with upcoming events in your district, get involved, and be the voice that resonates with others. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact in our communities.
