My term as President is winding down. Looking back, it’s been a very active year. We’ve changed the location of our meetings, had to deal with meeting cancellations due to weather, and a last minute speaker cancellation. All were dealt with thanks to the collaboration of a fantastic Executive Team. I’d like to thank them for their hard work on your behalves this past year. Looking ahead, our April meeting will be our Club’s Annual General Meeting where we will present our Budget for next year and welcome our incoming Executive. Thanks to Margaret Blanchet, we have a full slate of Executives for next year! The AGM will be followed by an Advocacy presentation by Kathryn Wilkinson and a National Film Board documentary. This is in place of our normal resolutions meeting as no Resolutions were tabled for this year. I’d like to thank Maureen Chorney and her Constitution Committee who tackled the job of revising our process for reviewing, studying and voting on resolutions so that these meetings can be enriching and engaging for members. Even though we won’t be able to put this process into practice this year, they are ready for future years. Our Club’s Mission is in large part around advocacy for the rights of women and children and we put this into action through initiatives and fundraising events. Our largest fundraising event, Card Night is coming up. For CFUW’s 100th Anniversary Celebration, a Committee of our club has been planning a ‘Community Dinner’ with a 1919 theme. This will be a special Scholarship fundraiser to commemorate our centennial and will be held as part of our October 2019 General Meeting. I’d like to close by saying that it’s been a privilege to serve as your President. It’s been a great opportunity to meet many more of you as well as observing the “Power of Women Working Together” in action. I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Luncheon on May 5th. Kyoko Kobayashi, President CFUW Mississauga |
