The QART AGM Meeting and Luncheon will take place at the Casa Grecque restaurant in Montreal North on Wednesday, September 10th at 11:30 am. The restaurant’s address is 10651 Pie-IX at the corner of Amiens. Before the meeting starts, you will be asked to place your luncheon order. This will allow the restaurant to prepare your meals while we conduct the required AGM business. Also, before the meeting starts, you can take advantage to pay your membership dues for 2025-2026. Regular membership is $35. For members-at-large, the fee is $15. Cheques, made out to QART, are preferred. The AGM agenda will be limited to essential topics only. These include the following:
The QART luncheon menu is as follows:
Lentil Soup
A choice of one of seven (7) entrees at $25, tax & tip included
- Pork or Chicken Souvlaki - Casa Hamburger - Calamari - Hamburger Steak - Fish and Chips - Chicken Tenders - 5 Butterfly Shrimps (All entrees include salad, rice, and potatoes) Dessert
- Baklava or Dessert of the Day, with coffee or tea
Reminder: The Casa Grecque is a BYOB establishment. You may bring your own wine.
QART will offer as door prizes two bottles of wine and two free meals. Each regular or honorary member attending has a chance to win one of these prizes.
If you plan to attend, you must give in your name to Steve Dursa by Friday, September 5th. This will allow us to fix our numbers with the restaurant. You can reach Steve at 514-991-0393, preferably between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm, or you can email him at stevedur2020@gmail.com. Guests are welcome.
Please be at the restaurant by 11:30 am.
Yours sincerely,
John.

WHAT’S UP NEXT? At this point in the normal QART calendar, there remains just one event, the AGM and accompanying luncheon. This is usually scheduled in May. No AGM could be held last year because of the pandemic. For the same reason, I do not foresee holding a physical AGM this year until the fall, at the earliest. However, our financial year ends March 31st. Before we plan anything further, our treasurer, Steve Dursa, has to close the year and produce the annual financial statements. QART will send these to you in the next bulletin. Once QART’s financial statements are published, we will be ready in May to start collecting next year’s membership fees. To do this, Steve Dursa will first send out invoices. A few days later, he will send you a statement of account. Please wait until you receive your statement of account before you pay. A large number of regular members have earned varying amounts of credits in compensation for the lack of physical events in 2020-2021. Waiting for your statement of account helps ensure that you pay the correct amount with your credits worked in. This year, we will replace the May AGM luncheon with a stay-at-home event if it is financially possible. Before QART can return to normal group activities, we would need that a large percentage of the population be vaccinated, that social distancing be lifted, and that indoor locations, such as restaurants, be fully opened. I am not sure when all this will happen, but I believe that our memorial celebration in November and our Christmas gathering in December are definite possibilities. |
April marks the beginning of QART's new financial year. Soon, we will start our membership drive for 2025-2026. Membership is the life blood of our association. We depend on your support, generosity, and promptness. I thank you in advance in making the upcoming membership drive a success. There will be no change in the membership fees charged for 2025-2026. The regular membership is $35; an honorary member who has 25 years of membership attained before July 2013 pays $0; an honorary member who has 25 years of membership attained after July 2013 pays $15; a member at large who just wishes to receive our general mailings but not participate in any QART meeting or activity pays $15
. In early May, QART Treasurer, Steve Dursa, will send each QART member an invoice for QART membership in 2025-2026. Be on the lookout for these personalized invoices.
If you wish to contact Steve, you can email him at stevedur2020@gmail.com. You can also reach him by mail at
