Cassandra was born and raised in south-western Manitoba. She graduated from Queen’s University with a degree in Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering. She is currently employed as the Sr. Mill Metallurgist at a copper-zinc mining company.
Cassandra joined the Flin Flon Kinette Club in the fall of 2001. Within the club, she has held the position of Secretary and has been active on many projects and committees, being chairperson on several of them. This will be her second term as Deputy Governor. Other volunteer experience includes a term as President of the local branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and a Mentor position with a crisis and distress phone line.

| Zone 2 Kinsmen DG - Tim McKay (Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg) |
|
|
Well, I live in Winnipeg and work as a currency broker. Other than that, I enjoy riding my bike, pretending to golf, and singing Karaoke. I have been in Kin for about three years and have had a great year this year as CF/Special Projects Director. I am also involved with a subcommittee of the NMC looking into the establishment of Campus clubs. This is something that I am very interested in as I was once upon a time the student President at Brandon University.
I am not married (haven’t found anyone patient enough yet) and I have no kids (not sure if the world can handle more of me).
I am looking forward to this year as DG in Zone 2 as I think that we have started more inter-club communication this year and am looking forward to continuing the trend.

I am married, have two children and four granddaughters. I live in the country on five acres and do a lot of gardening. I am an active member and hold an executive position at the local Community Club and I sit on the local Recreational Board. I do some catering and have a small housecleaning clientele. I have been in Kin for seven years.

| Zone 4 Kinsmen DG - James Doerr (Kinsmen Club of Thunder Bay - Hill City) |
| Zone 4 Kinette DG - Anna Pascuzzo (Kinette Club of Thunder Bay - Fort City) |
|
|
I was born and raised in Thunder Bay and has been married for 15 years. We have no children, but have a cute little dog named Buttons. We love to travel.
I have been a Fort City Kinette for five years and have held various positions on the executive, such as director, co-registrar, president and currently treasurer. Becoming part of the Kin family has enriched my life tremendously and I continue to enjoy being part of such a great club. I am looking forward to the position of Deputy Governor and look forward to learning about Kin at this level.

| Zone 6 Kinemen DG - Brandt Bessant (Kinsmen Club of Boissevain) |
|
|
Born and raised in beautiful Boissevain, I moved from Kin Kid to Kinsmen in 1995. I have served many executive positions at the club level and chaired many club projects. For the last six years, I have been a Partsman and, as of May 8th, 2006, I will be working for a local manufacturing company as Production Coordinator.
My extracurricular time is spent balancing family, friends, Kinsmen, and my many hobbies. I enjoy garage sales, auctions, refinishing antique furniture, gardening and a good barbeque. I am also President of ADLIB - the local drama troupe in Boissevain.
For those who know me best, I am a true International Harvester enthusiast. I have collected thousands of IH items for my collection. Items include toys, memorabilia, calendars, trucks and tractors and I will always be on the hunt for more.

| Zone 6 Kinette DG - Wanda Barker (Kinette Club of Brandon) |
|
|
My husband of 17 years and I are still actively involved with “Funds For Furry Friends” and have just adopted out our 20th foster “baby”. This is a rescue network where we have several homes that take in dogs and keep them until an appropriate home is found. This is very rewarding when we see the dogs we have nurtured going to a good loving home.
I work at an insurance company as a broker of house, auto, travel insurance and enjoy my career very much. I am lucky to still be at one of the few offices that is 9-5 Mon-Fri with my weekends off. My family all live in Alberta where I grew up and I really appreciate all the friendships I have made in Kin.
I am returning to the role of Deputy Governor this year; although, I will be on my own without my co-deputy governor of last year, Kathy. I was very nervous last year but had a lot of fun and look forward to carrying on the duties with more confidence.
