It is the duty of the treasurer to be a watchdog over all aspects of financial management, working closely with other members of Council to safeguard the organization’s finances.

Tasks and Duties:

In order to make Wondercafe2 run smoothly, there are various jobs that need to be done from doing the technical work of setting things up to moderating the discussions to keeping an eye (a sharp one) on the financial books. The admin team has defined these into three roles, or positions, and developed draft descriptions for each. We are putting these out to the community for comment, after which we will do final drafts and put up a Survey Monkey vote to approve them. The links below lead to the current drafts for the roles posted on the Wondercafe2 Administrator's blog.

Administrators ("admin” for short) manage the technical details of running the site. They may also perform mod functions as required.

Tasks and Duties

Moderators (“mods” for short) monitor and manage the day-to-day affairs and interactions of Wondercafe2. Effective moderation directly impacts the quality of a forum, its appeal, and its usefulness as a community.

Tasks and Duties:

One of the realities of living in our community is that as we age, the balance between the number of men and women changes.

Part of this is the simple fact that women outlive men. Often men are in higher risk occupations (although that is changing).

Those who have lost a life partner are called widows (or widowers if they are men).

You might be surprised to hear that in Owen Sound there are nearly 1600 women and just 315 men who are widowed. That compares to 118,000 men and 495,000 women who are widowed in Ontario.
