ANNOUNCEMENTS
Next week Eastview is hosting The Regina Club at the hybrid meeting at the Delta on Thursday May 25 noon. The speaker will be Diana Brown on zoom speaking about Ripple Effect projects. Our friends from the Canadian & Guatemalan Ripple Effect Committees will be invited.
June 16 is our Changeover meeting at the Royal Regina Golf Club. This is when we thank Jeff for the past year and welcome Al Hoeft as new President. It will be an evening meeting at the Royal Regina Golf Club.
The Eastview Lyle Piett Memorial Golf Tournament will be held July 7. The Regina Club is cancelling their June Golf Tournament and will be joining Eastview's on July 7.
Allen Hillsden reminded everyone that prizes and hole sponsors are needed for the Golf Tournament. Get in touch with Allen if you can help.
President Jeff welcomed everyone to Eastview and gave the Land Acknowledgement. He then introduced Tyson Liske as a person dedicated to people, events and the prairies. He has had previous employment including as a 911 dispatcher but is now into building new things and bringing people together. He aims to make Regina an even better place.
Tyson indicates he spends time 'scheming and dreaming' and asking the question what can we do, how do we bring together the passion in people, realize the opportunities that are before us to make Regina better and improve life for its citizens. It is important to find the people and projects that resonate with each other. Regina is changing. People are coming here from all over the world. We want to be a welcoming city. We need to spread the good word about Regina, collect and tell our stories of life in our urban setting. How do we focus on building our city and in the process consider repurposing old buildings instead of tearing them down and rebuilding? Healing needs to be a focus in our journey forward. It is slowly starting today with reconciliation. There is great potential between a non-profit melding with a private organization-- to help support people on the front lines. Aligning people with their passions and re-imagining existing plans will be key factors in moving forward.
Thank you Tyson for your presentation. You have given us much food for thought. Thank you for visiting Eastview. You are always welcome to return.
Tyson Liske--a force for change.
