Hello there. Several of us are in preparation for the ACWW conference in Nova Scotia in July. I am hoping to take care of several pieces of business while there, including the necessary letter for the bank from Margaret Yetman (our Canadian President), and passing some fundraising ideas past both Margaret and May Kidd (our World President).
Hello there. Several of us are in preparation for the ACWW conference in Nova Scotia in July. I am hoping to take care of several pieces of business while there, including the necessary letter for the bank from Margaret Yetman (our Canadian President), and passing some fundraising ideas past both Margaret and May Kidd (our World President).
I consider both Margaret and May good friends and I
look forward to seeing them both again. Among other issues we will I am sure be
making plans for Canada to complete its commitment to the next triennium. Canada
has committed $10,000. to our new project which was voted on in Hot Springs in
the post-conference meeting.
While in Nova Scotia at conference, as your
president, I will be doing two things; One, to make sure everyone across Canada
is aware of our new and powerful group and even offer some insight and
guidance for a blue-print for similar smaller, active, societies if anyone is
interested in doing so. And to insure the establishment of contact with other
societies throughout the country. Two, to represent our society, at a National
level, in a way which will reflect well on us all. That includes the
presentation of ideas for fundraising to those already mentioned, as well as all
other business-oriented interaction with the expected 250 participants from
across Canada. And of course to HAVE FUN!!!
I am looking forward to the conference of course
and to seeing our own Southern Ontario Support members enjoy the experience. I
look forward to reconnecting with W.I. members I met two years ago in
P.E.I. at the F.W.I.C. Conference and to meeting new friends from clear
across Canada.
I enjoy our membership's support and look forward
to offering a full report both here on the website and at our meeting next year.
I trust you will all have a relaxed and refreshing
summer holiday. Keep safe, keep strong and keep smiling.
President of S.O.S (Southern Ontario
Support)
ACWW (Associated Country Women
Worldwide)
