Arrowhead Clubhouse is evolving to “future-proof” this essential frontline service. A special joint announcement from Arrowhead Clubhouse and SCCSS.

Last night at an Extraordinary General Meeting, after careful consideration and discussion, a resolution was passed to “Apply on April 1, 2021, to the BC Registrar of Companies for dissolution of the Arrowhead Clubhouse Society, BC Certificate of Incorporation: S0044717”. The resolution passed with twenty people in favour and two opposed.

The decision by the Arrowhead Clubhouse Society Board to propose this resolution was made after a 6-month comprehensive review of how best to sustain the Clubhouse for the long term, both financially and operationally. The Board also carefully considered the need to retain the participant-led approach that is a hallmark of the International Clubhouse model. Details of the new structures that will be put in place over the coming months are documented in the joint statement below (see Link), written by the chairs of both the Arrowhead Clubhouse Society and the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society.

Change is always a little scary but the ACS Board is very confident that SCCSS will continue to expertly administer the financial and operational logistics of the clubhouse and ensure members have a voice in the direction the clubhouse takes over the coming years.

If you have any questions about this process and decision please do not hesitate to contact Project Lead, Foye Hatton. Email fhatton@sccss.ca or call 604-865-0471.

Dear Arrowhead Clubhouse Members:                                

For the past year the Board of the Arrowhead Clubhouse Society has met and discussed what form and structure would best serve the continuation of the needs of the Clubhouse and its members.  As discussed at the AGM last September 29 2020, the Board is now ready to make the following recommendation:

The Society will devolve and in its place active volunteers will remain as “THE FRIENDS OF ARROWHEAD’ helping support with parties, garage sales, raffle sale, public awareness, public speaking, annual appeal etc.

The Members of the Clubhouse will form an ARROWHEAD WORK PLAN COMMITTEE, made up of members and staff, setting goals and priorities for the Clubhouse, giving members a greater say in the operation.

Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, who have already been overseeing the staffing and daily operation of Arrowhead Clubhouse for over 10 years, have agreed to take full responsibility for fundraising and operation going forward.

You are all invited to a Zoom meeting called for March 23, 2021, at 5pm.  If you wish to take part in the virtual meeting please register by 5pm on Friday 19th March 2021, by emailing; arrowheadclubhousesociety@gmail.com. 

A Zoom meeting access link will be emailed to you ahead of the meeting.  For those who do not have access to a computer please call the clubhouse (Monday to Friday- 9am to 3pm) or use the above e-mail to arrange a telephone access code.

With thanks,

The Board of Arrowhead Clubhouse Society
