REMEMBERING JOHN WATT 1931-2014 John became a member of Otter Co-op in 1966. He ran for the Board of Directors in 2003 and served three terms which ended in 2009. During those years John served as Board President twice. After taking the mandatory one year off, John ran again in 2010 and received another three year term and then again in 2013 where he received the one year term which ended in May of 2014. John felt the Co-op was an excellent store and enjoyed the friendly helpful attitude of the staff. He said the feeling one gets in the store is terribly important to make the Co-op a desirable place to shop. He felt the patronage refund was a very nice bonus as well. When chairing the elec- tions committee John took the job very seriously in trying to recruit or find out why someone took an interest in running for the Otter Co-op Board, always trying to promote the best for Otter Co-op. He was also a very valued member of the Fi- nance Committee. John was one of those people that you meet in your life that you don’t forget. He would often stop by my office to pick up his Director mail and share stories about his past adventures, his family or his trav- els with his wife Mary. He was usually gone just as quickly, but not before he asked about my family or making sure all was well with me. I will miss answering my phone to hearing his booming voice, “Mrs. Mc. How are you? Followed by a short conversation and then he was done, “ok bye bye.” It always left me smiling. On behalf of everyone at Otter Co-op I would like to extend our deepest Sym- pathy to John’s wife Mary and the en- tire Watt Family. John was a dedicated Member, Director and Friend.

It was another fun fi lled Easter Party with approximately 500 Kids’ Club Members and their families in attendance. The ever popular petting zoo put on by Langley Beef & Swine Club was a busy spot as was the horse and wagon rides by Rocking Horse Carriage from Aldergrove. Madame Butterfl y created balloon art along with other face painters and entertainers. Addi-tionally there was cupcake decorating, popcorn and many game stations with a prize at every booth. If you know someone that has not yet reached their twelfth birthday and is not a Kids’ Club Member have them come to the administration offi ce or sign up online and join today. Benefi ts include a cookie on every visit to the store as well as a treat from the cashiers goodie container. All Kids’ Club events are free to attend!

NEWS & VIEWSPRESIDENT’S MESSAGERecently your Co-op was honoured to

have earned two very important awards from the Langley Chamber of Commerce. We were awarded both the “Community Impact Award” and the “Business of the Year Award”. These awards indicate the high esteem the Otter Co-op is held in by the local business community.

Shortly after these awards were announced I was asked by a long time member, “Why did we receive these awards? “What did we do to deserve this honour”. This question made me realize we rarely make it known how much your co-op contributes in the way of charity giving and support services to the community.

Each month approximately thirty local groups, clubs, schools etc. receive support for their activities. We support all 4H clubs year round and actually sponsor four Otter clubs, and have for many years. We now give ten ($1000) scholarships annually which help students to further their education. Otter Co-op has supported the school lunch program in the Langley School District for many years as well. We are now hosting a Food & Friends 55+ lunch program the second and fourth Mondays of the month. This is all in addition to our well attended summer berry socials, chicken dinners, senior dinners and Kids’ Club programs. These are only a few of the charities and activities we support, the list could go on and on. It is seldom that Otter Co-op does not contribute greatly to any good cause.

Our interest in giving back to our community has been made possible due to our business success. We have had four record sales years in a row and are heading for a fi fth. This is only possible and will remain possible because of our member’s loyalty to the Co-op.

Next time you are out shopping I would ask you to think of who else gives as much back to their members and their community.

The Co-op is our members and its our members who make it what it is. Please continue to support the Co-op and ask your friends to join and support our various enterprises. In that way we will always be able to be community minded and supportive to community organizations.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner, this year has fl own by much too quickly at Otter! It was a challenging and exciting year, with the opening of two new gas bar and convenience store locations in Abbotsford, and the opening of our gas bar, convenience store, cardlock, bulk plant and offi ces in Chilliwack just this month.

We are part way through our fi scal year, as our year end is not until the end of February. After week 38, our sales are at $138.6 million; which is $8.9 million ahead of last year at the same time, or an increase of 6.8%. We are well on our way to a fi fth year of consecutive record sales, something we can all be proud of in this economy. Much of our growth is in new store sales, and our membership continues to grow throughout the Lower Mainland. We have also had success in growing our feed operation sales located in Armstrong, a location that we purchased last year.

Several exciting items to share with you include Otter Co-op receiving the Langley Chamber of Commerce Community Impact Award, and the Large Business of the Year Award. These were achieved through the hard work and dedication of our entire team, which also includes you, our loyal shoppers. Every time you make a purchase at Otter, you are growing our sales and bottom line results, which in turn assists us in serving the needs of the communities in which we operate. Otter Co-op is very proud of the donations and sponsorships we are able to provide to the community, which are all a direct result of the continued success that we have all played a part in making. As well, Otter Co-op made the top 100 Businesses in BC in 2014, and recently moved to #67 on the list of Top 100 Most Profi table Businesses in BC.

Some of our plans for 2015 include a signifi cant upgrade of the Retail Centre on 248th and Fraser Highway, continued plans with upgrading our cardlock facility on 248th, and we continue to work towards building a new gas bar and convenience store on Highway 11 between Mission and Abbotsford.

I am extremely proud of the team we have here at Otter, from the Board of Directors to our employee group, and you the members. We have had several of our team successfully complete manager training programs this past year, and it is great to see the many opportunities that are available to those looking for a career in retail, and being able to offer it through the Co-op.

I’d like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of our hard working team that continue to embrace change at Otter, and continue us on our path of growth and increased services to our members. These ever changing economic and competitive times can be challenging, and our team is always ready and willing to step up and take on new opportunities to benefi t our member/owners. Your Co-op Board and employees continue to work diligently on keeping Otter the growing, diverse, and profi table business it needs to be for our members, and we look forward to serving you well into the future.

On behalf of everyone here at the Co-op, all the best to you and your family, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and all the best for the New Year.
