  October 2000

  Supervisors of the Brewers Retail were invited to attend
  a meeting held at the Nottawasaga Inn, in Alliston,
  Ontario.
  
  At this meeting, supervisors discussed various issues
   regarding promoting the interests and well being of past
   and present supervisory employees.  These issues
   included:

           · Expectations of their positions (RDR's)
           · Hours of store operations
           · MLM's
           · Job security
           · Retirement for long-term employees
           · Overtime
           · Compensation issues relating to retirement
           · Clarification of past and future pension benefits
             and contributions

  The popular consensus after discussing these concerns
  was to determine how much support there would be for
  an association of supervisors.
 
  Managers who supported forming an association
  would send a cheque in the amount of one hundred
  dollars. All monies collected will be used in the
  effort of the executive committee to form an association.


  June 2001

  Due to the overwhelming number of managers having
  contributed to our cause, the executive committee
  determined that it was appropriate to form an Ontario
  corporation without share capital.  We are pleased to 
  announce the incorporation of Ontario Beer Store
  Supervisors Association Inc.

  For those of you who have already contributed, thank
  you for your support.

  For those of you who haven't heard about our endeavor,
  we welcome your support.  
 
  For those of you who may have reservations and are   
  hesitant about  joining our effort for whatever reason,
  may we say that all memberships are held in the strictest 
  confidence.

  We believe the Ontario Beer Store Supervisors 
  Association Inc. is an important vehicle to promote the
  interests of supervisors and to facilitate the exchange
  of information for the mutual benefit of members of the
  Association.

  The Legal Counsel for the Association is William C. Cline
  of the law firm Shuh, Cline & Grossman, 17 Weber Street
  West, Kitchener, Ontario, N2H 3Y9.  (519)578-9010 x228.

  We would at this time encourage those of you who have
  joined to get the word out to all of your fellow supervisors
  as to the importance of this association.
