-'{'ij'am G 2rd y RENFREW SOUTH DISTRICT WOMEN'S INSTITUTE l NEWSLETTER CY Nj*i'}/ * 4 THIRD ISSUE -- MAY 2004 Hi from your NEW District Executive.... 2004--2005 year of RSDWI has started and there have been a few changes to our Executive... .the most important is our new Tresurer, Irene Robillard from the Burnstown WI. We are very fortunate to have had such an able person in Sara Campbell to keep our finances in order for so many years. Sara and Irene's dedication to the organization is an example of how our organization continues to grow and remain strong. Next year we will be looking for more members to join the Executive so keep that in mind when you are planning for next year's events. During our District Annual, it became very evident that there have been changes in our organization again... .they say change is good, but we have certainly have had a lot in the last little while. In trying to find out about these changes, I have had quite a few emails from Lynn Ruigrok and Julie Annett in answer to some of the questions arising from our District Annual. The second page of this Newsletter is dedicated to an email that Julie sent regarding the changes to Volunteer hours. I hope that some of our concerns have been answered. One of the positions that are not required to report to FWIO is the PRO position. That does not mean that we do not need this and other positions in our organization. PLEASE keep your PRO in your branch and give that important person all your information so that we can keep this Newsletter up to date and keep our names in the local newspapers. All WI members should be promoting WI but we only need one dedicated person to report your successes to our members and the community. Good | luck in your endeavours for the summer and we look forward to pictures and news--reports to pass on to our membership. Submit your feedback and news to Jo--Anne Camelon and Joanne McDonald by regular mail or by email to jocamelon@hotmail.com -- See you next time. j frsnrrrrrrrte B redtdedettin msccss rrmnonucaracecaritiruuu ut iocarcucucrcuiua uunurasiaaeuascauuitesavnmenceamyur,au use orcsaiustacie us uccuiaa wamermen.ar yat mac ranme cemoonorimnreitsizmante«cecocamnmuuen ioi RSDWI District Annual _ 2004 What a wonderful day and in such a beautiful setting -- the lives.
