After the Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission's (RLDRC) May 25 annual general meeting, Tim Ruscheinsky and Carolyn Charlton remain president and vice-president respectively.
Wendy Chase is secretary and Gyl Connaty has become treasurer.
Directors include AJ Dwyer, Andrea Glatz, Lorraine Jerema, Rene Lafavor, Joanne Levick, Dan Lytton, Marion Mickelsen, Christine Nadeau, Bud and Mary Ritchie, Barb Weston and Jim Zailo.
While most directors were either in mid-term or re-elected, Jerema and Zailo have returned to the board after an absence; and new resident Lafavor was elected for the first time.
RLDRC manages the Interlakes Hall and grounds, and the Interlakes Rodeo Grounds on behalf of all Interlakes residents who own the complex.
Interlakes Community Association (ICA), which has the same board of directors as RLDRC, is the body that runs the events.
