Dear AWA members,
We are getting ready to launch another year with a
new Board elected at our Annual General Meeting. We are all here to
serve the community and to provide the venues for our
get-togethers and social times. We
have some fabulous talent on the Board and they are already
working and planning events just for you.
Marcie, our Second Vice-Chairwoman is putting
together the Appreciation Luncheon for May
25th.
Marcie has planned a fabulous menu, as well as honoring
special guests.
If you have been a faithful volunteer this past year,
you will not want to miss this event.
Jeanine is the First Vice-Chairwoman and fairly new
to the AWA. She
comes with lots of wonderful ideas to ‘spark’ and ‘mix’ things
up. She is very
creative and makes everyone around her feel and get
excited. Check
out some of the calendar events in the June, July, August
issue of the Karibu for activities she already has in the
‘works’.
We have some more new faces on the Board too. Allison will be
working with Hannelore.
Allison is also new to AWA and who better to teach her
the ropes than our precious Hannelore. Judy is also going to
be working with Community Projects and Hannelore. Lesley and Vicky have
been faithful to attend every Out & About this past year
so the Board asked them to coordinate the O & As for this
next term. They
are a great pair.
Pauline came forward a couple of months ago and
volunteered to be the editor of the Karibu. Hurray for
volunteers!! Zena
is helping out with fundraising. She just coordinated
her first event and did a fantastic job. Trudy is also another
‘newbie’ to AWA and she is our new Treasurer.
Then we have some familiar faces on the Board. Samantha is leaving
Membership and has become our Parliamentarian. You will continue to
see Lesley and her camera at all events taking pictures and
keeping up with our ‘history’. Brenda and Annie will
continue as Co-Secretaries. Our Board meetings
would fall apart without them. Sakina will continue
doing a fantastic job with Advertising. Our ‘techie’ Jolene
will continue as our Webmistress. I’m so glad to have someone
who is computer literate! I’m also very thankful
to still have Jan on the Board. She is not only our FAWCO
Representative but she is also a wealth of information on AWA
history.
You will be seeing and hearing lots from these
ladies. If you
have not met them yet, please introduce yourselves to
them. We also
want to hear from you.
We are here to serve the community and the AWA
together. If you
have ideas or suggestions, please write us a note. All suggestions are
welcomed.
Everyone have a great summer. Check the calendar in
the Karibu for the summer schedule of events. If you are away for the summer, then we’ll see you at
the ‘Welcome Back Tea’ on August 24th.
Take care and see you soon,
Teri
Chairwoman
