Carla Deminchuk
It is with great sadness we advise of the passing of our long-time enthusiastic volunteer, Carla Deminchuk.
We all knew Carla as a lovely woman, deeply caring in all things, and a huge supporter and booster of our museum. She brought incredible energy and enthusiasm, and wonderful (sometimes zany) ideas to her work.
Carla contributed in so many ways. She was a professional event planner who assisted the Museum in organizing and running many events. Her brainstorming for events to promote the Museum was well known, and her cheerful and efficient manner of getting an event under way was an inspiration to all the volunteers. Her skills in the kitchen were legendary, with creations such as the special airplane-shaped treats for the children on Family Day. At an event in the hangar, she would be busy in the background ensuring the catering was kept in good order.
She was well known to all Museum members as the editor of the Glidepath newsletter. In this capacity she helped us share all the stories of Museum life and local events. When Facebook became mainstream, she embraced the task of updating the news with gusto, adding to the Museum’s profile significantly. For newsworthy events she often wrote the news release for the Museum, giving it a professional touch.
Filling so many huge holes in our organization will be a major challenge, a challenge that will again and again remind us how fortunate we were to have Carla working with us.
