I was pleased to report at the Annual General Meeting that your Board of Directors has had success this past year in furthering the goals and objectives of you, the membership. SUN’s public image has been increased at all levels in the province. We are an effective participant and advocate with Senior Organizations, Associations (such as AMA), with the Provincial Government and the Opposition parties.

SUNBURST 5
Welcome to the 5th issue of SUNBURST and thank you for your continuing support. The more organized and active we become, the more we see what needs to be done. This newsletter does not begin to allow us to adequately report on SUN’s many activities throughout the province. However, we shall try to present the highlights and the lowlights and generally be informative as possible. We encourage members to attend SUN functions.

SUNBURST 4
Welcome to the 4th issue of SUNBURST and thank you for your continuing support. The majority of our activity since the October 2004 issue has been focused on the November 22, 2004 provincial general election. Not surprisingly, interpretation of the results has been numerous with each political party trying to sell their own particular spin. The general consensus seems to be that although the Progressive Conservatives were not hit between the eyes with the proverbial 2”x4”, they did receive a hard knock on the knuckles. Even though we feel we did get their attention, i.e. restoration of AHC Premiums, this does not mean that we have accomplished our goal. It simply means that perhaps now we can begin some meaningful dialogue.
