Hi Everyone,

Triwood Community Association is Celebrating their 60th Anniversary on May 28th. And they are looking for Volunteers to Help them Celebrate.
So if you’re available to help them by Volunteering it would be greatly appreciated. If not, Let’s go out and Celebrate with them! It’s sure to be a Fun Day.

Here is the Message I received from their Executive Director Stephan Horbay with Triwood,

“Hello Triwood Community Association stakeholders!
This year, Triwood is turning 60 years old (well, 60 and a half… our party is a little delayed thanks to COVID)!

We are planning a massive celebration on May 28th, with live music, dance, drinks, food, FIREWORKS, games, kid’s activities, markets, a car show, and anything else we can fit on to our property! The event will be 60’s themed and the goal will be to walk our visitors through the history of the Association – from the early, open air arena, to the future plans for our building expansion. Of course, when the time comes, you, your staff and members will all be invited! Also though… We are in need of your VOLUNTEER help! Triwood is reaching out to our primary partners to fill two specific sets of roles for the event: white hats (hosts that provide general direction to visitors at the event – similar to the volunteers who you see at Stampede), and individuals who can help with designing displays (both physical and digital) that highlight Triwood’s history. The group of volunteers will meet with the 60th Anniversary Committee in early April to discuss the roles noted above. Time commitment for volunteers will be amount to one or two meetings, and either a few hours at the event on May 28th, or some at-home design work (depending on the role you are interested in). Creative? Friendly? Appreciate Triwood? Please step up to join our volunteer group by forwarding your interest to executivedirector@triwoodcommunity.com before the end of March. Triwood Stakeholder leaders, please help us out by forwarding this request on to your members and staff and promoting involvement!

Thank you sincerely!!

Stephan Horbay

Executive Director
Triwood Community Association"

This Event on May 28th coincides with the Kelowna Ogopogo’s Softball Tournament, so I know there will be many of our members that will not be available to assist. But if you’re available, let’s try and assist them by Volunteering or helping them Celebrate.

Cheers Everyone,
