MEMORANDUM

To: MEMBERS OF THE B.C.G.E.U. LOCAL 59, COMPONENT 14
From: SECRETARY, GOOD AND WELFARE COMMITTEE August Ist, 1985
Re: GOOD AND WELFARE COMMITTEE

 

A Good and Welfare Committee has now been established at Douglas
College which will provide or co-ordinate "outreach" communication and/or
assistance to Bargaining Unit members under special circumstances, such
as prolonged illness, bereavement, termination of employment, etc.

Attached is a copy of the terms of reference for this committee,
which have been approved by the Bargaining Committee. Would you please
read these to familiarise yourself with the function of the committee.

The Chairperson of the Good and Welfare Committee, Anna Raffle,
has retired. Anna was instrumental in initiating this committee and
remained to complete much of the groundwork. A new chairperson will be
elected shortly. Present members of the committee are:

Jean Easton, Treasurer
Jean Hammer, Secretary
Anne Fenton

Steve Sale

Lita Van Taves

Lynn Servedio

One representative is to be appointed by each Department for the
purpose of communicating with co-ordinators on the committee. A list of
departments requiring representation is given on page 3 of the terms of
reference. Please send the name of your representative to the
Secretary as soon as possible.

Initially the Committee would appreciate receiving smal]
donations to a float fund which will be used for minor expenses, such as
cards. Money for flowers, etc. will be obtained from the B.C.G.E.U.
following expenditure. Staff members wishing to donate (we suggest
50¢ to $1.00) should send their donation to Jean Easton.

As soon as departmental representatives are known, a list of

their names will be published in the Mad Hatter. These representatives
are not expected to sit on the Committee.
