Dear Members and Supporters,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that membership has voted to close the Byron Community Organization. After eleven wonderful years of service, it is time for us to reflect on the amazing journey we've had together and the significant impact we've made in the Byron community.
Over the eleven years, our organization has achieved remarkable milestones and hosted memorable events that have brought our community closer together. From fundraising initiatives – Clean Sweep Garage Sale and Drive Thru Spaghetti Dinner to our community events including Byron is Beautiful, Halloween in the Village and movie nights, we have worked tirelessly to create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone in Byron.
While it is difficult to say goodbye, we are immensely proud of what we have accomplished together. The dedication and support of our members, volunteers, sponsors, and partners have been invaluable in making Byron a better place for everyone.
As we close this chapter, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has been a part of the Byron Community Organization. Your passion, hard work, and commitment have been behind our success, and we will always cherish the memories we've created together.
The allocation of funds from the bank account was approved during our meeting on May 9th. It was decided that the remaining funds will be donated to the Veteran's Memorial Monument project. The Byron-Springbank Veterans Monument will include metal statues of military personnel and civilians, commemorating Canadians who served during the past century in both wartime and peacekeeping roles. This monument will be installed in Springbank Park in 2025.
Although our organization may be coming to an end, the spirit of community and collaboration that we have fostered will continue to live on in each of us. Let us carry forward the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the positive impact we've had on Byron.
Thank you once again for your support and dedication. We look forward to seeing the continued growth and prosperity of our beloved community.
