Please follow this link->> for November, December 2025 and January 2026 Newsletter PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - Winter Newsletter 2025My name is Marcia Swaby and I have belonged to CFUW since the 80s in Oakville. We were on our fifth move since emigrating from England in 1976: Chester, England to Kincardine, Oakville, Toronto, Oakville. Our last realtor’s wife in Oakville the second time was a member and when I said I would join when I was settled, she said you will never be settled so join now. Very good advice and when we moved to Calgary for 12 years, I joined the CFUW Calgary, and I started to be involved on the Executive. This co-presidency is a wonderful way to get involved and I suggest more of you join the executive if you can. There are some great people on it!
I attended the Presidents Meeting of South Ontario and the themes were declining numbers, ways of raising money for our scholarships, the need to modernize our web page to have a positive, upbeat presentation of what we do and gain more interest and, hopefully, members. Two clubs have got permission from their cities to join Bingo and the money raised for scholarships was considerable. We may have to find other creative ways to raise more money for this. My favourite venture was when our club raised Toonies and Loonies for toilets in Ethiopia at one of the schools. One of our members knew the school as she met them when volunteering for CUSO. The toilets allowed menstruating girls to attend school and as we dug one for the girls we did another for the boys. I think the cost was under $2,000. It was pointed out that many members had left CFUW Mississauga a gift in their wills. This seems to have stopped since COVID so I wanted to remind everyone that this could be done. All ideas are welcome and let’s have fun this year. Marci Swaby CFUW Mississauga Co-President |
