Elections and our Annual General Meeting

     SEA-PAHs elections are now live! If you’re a dues paying member you will have received a ballot earlier today from election buddy, allowing you to decide who will be on 2023s Board and who our beneficiary will be. Voting will run from December 1st until our Annual General Meeting (AGM) January 14th at 5pm at All Pilgrims Christian Church. At our AGM we will be announcing the results of the election and discussing how we’ll proceed into 2023.

Puppy Love by our friends at FetchNW

     Join FetchNW at the Georgetown Ballroom February 25th 8pm for the prom night of your dreams. If you're anything like us, prom wasn't exactly...tailored towards you, so we are throwing you a prom night at the Georgetown Ballroom with its massive 550 person capacity and TWO Theaters. Come as you are, or dress up fancy for the prom. Dresses, tuxes and tails are certainly welcome but not at all required, and we're going to have the venue decked out with prom decorations to make this a FetchNW event unlike anything you've seen yet.

Tickets and more details are available at https://fetchnw.com/tickets

SEA-PAH will have two tickets available at our holiday raffle December 10.

Associate Member Fees

     On January 1, 2023, new associate members will be charged a one time fee of $10, covering the duration of their associate membership.

     This will have no effect on current associate members, but anyone signing up after January 1, 2023 will be subject to the new cost. Why the change? This year, with overwhelming support, our membership changed our bylaws to grant associate members a larger voice in the club - the ability to vote themselves. 

     For all of SEA-PAH history until now, associate members couldn’t vote and had a hard time participating at events, which are traditionally held at 21+ venues. With the bylaw change we passed the first hurdle, and it’s time to tackle the second. To do that, we need money to afford 18+ venues. A $10 fee covers the cost of your membership tag. It’s small, but it’s a start to keeping costs under control for the club and being able to afford more flexible events.

     If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach us at board@seapah.org. This club is for all of our members, and now our associate’s voices are louder than ever. Let us hear from you.
