To improve the quality of Sections, make them more accessible and assist with the planning of Section activity, the BC Branch recently asked members to participate in a short survey. Members who responded before March 29th were eligible to win an ‘Early Bird’ prize: one night at the Vancouver Sutton Place Hotel plus Brunch for two. The winner was Deborah Armour, Powerex Corp, Vancouver. As a ‘thank you’ for participating in this worthwhile survey members were entered in a draw for two more prizes: one night and breakfast for two at the Four Seasons Hotel won by Barbara Sort of Qualicum Beach; one night and breakfast for two at the Metropolitan Hotel won by Paul Mendes, Lesperance Mendes, Vancouver. The CBABC thanks all members who responded to this survey.
