Our general meeting agenda will include:
1) further discussion regarding the motion that was passed to reconsider how LEPAC will spend $16,000
Important Notice
As per our LEPAC's Constitution and By-Laws, the executive shall advertise expenditures greater than $500 in a LEPAC newsletter that are not already in the approved budget. A vote shall take place at the next General Meeting.
A motion was passed at our general LEPAC meeting held on April 18th to present an expenditure of $1500 that does not exist in the approved budget. The executive is requesting that $1500 be spent to send 3 exec members as representatives of LEPAC to the BCCPAC's AGM and Conference held in Vancouver. The cost includes hotel, conference fees, and food. A vote to approve or oppose this expenditure will take place at our next General Meeting on May 16th.

Thank you Susan for all of the time you give to Lochside to help make it a great school!
Fun Lunch Feedback
The fun lunch team are looking for your feedback! Did you know that the fun lunch program is LEPAC's biggest fundraiser? It is a win win for our school - the students love fun lunch day, parents get a break from making lunches, and we raise funds to support field trips, buy musical instruments and host artists in residence among other projects. Please help us plan the fun lunch program for next year by completing this short survey.
