AWI Council Minutes - January 2001

              Last year I sent out a card to the Branches for their Anniversary with the theme about Teamwork.
This year I am changing the pictures to reflect a busy woman for Building our Future and balloons
for our celebration for the 80th Anniversary.
The joint Constituency & District Conference will be held in Lethbridge and I am still working on a
place to hold it. I have a speaker talking on Child Poverty in our Area. Other members would like
something on relaxation and that I is next on the agenda. Other subjects for consideration is the
Wise Owls and possibly something on Computers or bank machines. I am working on getting a
photo album of past District Directors in our District for a memory of those that Volunteered their
time and of the Constituency Conveners as well if possible. Nora Sept thought that maybe we could
get a history of the various Branches whether they folded or not and include pictures. I thought that
this was a good idea. It is something we can work at and add over time. As this is the 80th
Anniversary of the District I hope to spend some time to celebrate the years and our Volunteers.
The theme I think will be " Building Our Future".
The Newsletters are still being written with communication needed now more than ever with the
changes that are coming. No matter who looks after the Branches I think keeping the
Communication flowing is very important.
I sent in my report for Home and Country and hope to get the Condensed Minutes and Newsletter
sent to the Branches before the Council Meeting.
