I. Members: At a recent meeting of the Executive it was decided to compile a record of Life Mem­berships in book form and the work was en­trusted to me. The first Life Memberships in the Alberta Women's Institutes were given in 1949 to two members who had served our organization in positions of trust and prominence for many • ears. They were Mrs. H. J. Montgomery d. Mrs. A. H. Rogers. Since its inception, •. otal of forty- nine Life Memberships have ~. sn bestowed. Our Provincial Treasurer, Mrs. L. D. Smith, has kept a record of these for our provincial files, but for obvious reasons this record cannot be made available for gen­eral reading by our members. The Book of Life Memberships will fill that need in future at Provincial Conventions, etc., and our mem­bers will be able to read the record of those to whom this honor has been given._ „. Here briefly is the material I shall need to compile the book: A biography of not more than two hundred and fifty words, giving the personal history of the member, with special emphasis upon her contribution to Women's Institute work on any and all levels. Details of her activity in other organizations should be kept at a minimum. A clear snaoshot or photograph not in excess of 3 by 5 inches will be required. There will be no charge for this extra service. Will each branch be re- SDonsible for sending this needed material for their members who are eligible for inclusion in the book. add to favorites : reference url back to results : previous : next powered by CONTENTdm ® | contact us  ^ to top ^
