SEE WHAT'S NEW ON THIS SITE:PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - Fall 2022 We are back!
Thank you to all who responded to our survey about meeting times and locations. I have compiled and analyzed the data. While many of us are fine driving at night, many are not but most of those who can are also available during the day. Therefore, our regular meetings will be at Solel Congregation on Folkway just west of Erin Mills Parkway, Monday afternoons 1:30 to 3:30. Our first meeting will be held on September 12, the second Monday, and the rest on the first Monday of the month. We owe a big thank you to Diane Adler for doggedly pursuing the city booking office for months. As of last Friday, the details with the city were still not finalized and we had to decide. Solel is perfect. It’s one story, easily accessible, handicapped parking at the door, and all parking spots a short walk to the entrance. It is also in the center of our largest contingent of members. AND, it’s within our budget. This time change for our general meetings reflects the changes in our interest groups. Only two are scheduled to meet at night and both are currently taking steps to change to afternoons. (Mornings maybe?) We have evolved since I was last president in 1986. There are few if any career community volunteer doyennes and stay at home moms now. We are 40 years older. Unfortunately, over the years we did a very poor job of recruiting new and younger members. We internalized, staying in the same interest groups with the same friends for decades. This made it very difficult for any new member to really meld into the club. Without the personal contact the interest groups provided, many of our prospective long-term members quit. We are now de facto a retirement club. We will carry on in our inimitable way, supporting our scholarship fund, organizing ad hoc events like our 100th birthday dinner and our very popular picnic and, of course, dining, hiking, reading, touring, and playing bridge. Congratulations to all of us for adapting to the new technologies during Covid isolation. You can teach a CFUW member new tricks. Its great to be back! Dianne Lawson, President CFUW Mississauga |
