Message from the Chair – June 2023

2023 AVOHK Annual General Meeting

The Club had a good turnout of members at the AGM on Thursday, 8 June 2023. Thank you
to those members that attended at Museum Café (formerly, Café 8). There is an article
about the AGM in the newsletter. I would like to, on behalf of all the members, thank the
outgoing AVOHK Chair, Elaine Hall, for the great job Elaine did in leading the Club through
the last 2 years and keeping us all together. Congratulations to Glory Yau on being presented
with AVOHK Female Athlete of the Year and Aldo Kriel on being presented with AVOHK Male
Athlete of the Year. Both very well deserved. The following members of the AVOHK
Committee were voted in: https://avohk.org/index.php/avohk-committee/
