Happy summer, Neighbours! The ECCA has planned events and fundraisers for the remainder of the year and we can now share with you!

August Barbecue

Mark your calendar for Saturday 24 August, 12pm-3pm. The ECCA, along with Fresh Co Evanston, will be putting on a family friendly barbecue in the Evanston Town Centre with all proceeds going to the ECCA! There will be food, beverages, snacks, music and a photo booth.  This is free for Members and a donation for non-Members.

September Membership Drive

What is a community association without members? We will have a membership drive once back-to-school routines settle in. Our Board Members and volunteers will be coming around to sign you up (and collect empty bottles for donation to our Community Park). Memberships can always be purchased at www.eccacalgary.com/register.

October Wine Tasting

As the autumn air starts moving activities inside, what better way to enjoy an evening in than with the ECCA wine tasting! The ECCA, along with Wine & Beyond Sage Hill, will be putting on an evening of tasting, nibbles, education and all-round fun. There will be a limited number of tickets for this 18+ event.

November Christmas Light Decoration Contest

When is too early to put up your Christmas lights and decorations? The ECCA is holding this Contest with prizes to be won and awarded at our December Event. The Contest will begin in early November so lights up before Halloween may be a tad too early!

December Silent Auction

Our December Event Committee has already started planning for the Christmas Mingle and Silent Auction. There will be food, beverages, silent auction and the awards ceremony for the Christmas Light Decoration Contest. If you would like to submit an item for the silent auction, please contact us. There will be a limited number of tickets for this family friendly holiday event.

Volunteer with the ECCA

We are always looking for people to join our team as the success of our events and our ability to deliver on community projects and initiatives are dependent on our volunteers. There are a variety of opportunities to get involved. The following directorships are currently vacant: Secretary, Events, Fundraising, Memberships and Planning & Development. Please email board@eccacalgary.com if you are interested and or would like more information about the open directorships. If you are looking to volunteer your time, but perhaps not as director, we have a volunteer list you could be added to at volunteer@eccacalgary.com.

Join your Association!
