In appreciation of your efforts and commitments on behalf of BCGEU members, please accept this invitation to attend the Activists' Appreciation Banquet hosted by the Area 02 Cross Component Committee.

The dinner and overnight accommodation will be billed directly to the union. Accommodation if required will be arranged and a confirmation sent to you prior to the banquet. The union will reimburse other approved expenses once your expense claim is received.

Due to the significant number of "no shows" we have experienced in the past, a cancellation fee of $20.00 per couple/$10.00 per person, is required to complete your registration. This fee is to partially offset the cost of the meal should you not attend nor cancel your attendance prior to Friday, May 17, 2019. Therefore, please send a cheque made payable to BCGEU Area 02 Cross Component Committee, post-dated for May 17, 2019, or cash in the enclosed pre‑paid envelope. The fee will be returned to you at the registration table when you arrive at the banquet.

If you would like to attend the banquet, please register no later than Friday, May 17^th via link http://events.bcgeu.ca/area_02_activist_appreciation_banquet_2019 . If you have any questions, please call the Nanaimo Area Office at 1-800-667-1997.
