JANUARY 30-31, 2016
Dear Federated Women,
I know you are all busy getting ready for Christmas or are Celebrating Hanukkah but please take the time to go to the Northern Division website, ◼ www.cfrwnd.org and download the registration form and information for Leadership and Winter Conference.
Last year was our first year experimenting with this combined event and the overwhelmingly positive response persuaded the board to keep it on a permanent basis. What a relief to be able to travel only once and be able to get twice as energized and informed! As always there is no registration for those attending the Leadership Workshop only, making it a great deal for clubs who want to send all of their members for this action-packed and informative day. Not only will club officers and committee chairs gain new insight into their positions but this workshop gives newer members the opportunity to discover all the different positions possible in a Federated Club and hopefully encourages then to step up and volunteer their talents.
The 2016 Chairs for this event will be Patsy Nelson, 1st Vice President for Leadership Workshop and Cathy Kneer, Regional Director of North Region, as Chair for the Winter Board of Directors meeting and Conference. I know they have two beautiful events being wrapped up for you at the Crowne Plaza in Sacramento and the clubs of the North Region are hard at work to make this event one that you will all enjoy. The conference will begin on Saturday evening after the close of Leadership Workshop with Banquet Speaker Charles Johnson and continue through Sunday afternoon.
Hotel Reservation information is on the website with the Registration Form, as is the Tentative Agenda written by President-Elect Olivia. At this time we will not be accepting on-line registration for this event so please download and return the registration form prior to the January 20th deadline.
I would like to sincerely thank you, the wonderful members of Northern Division, for all of your hard work and successes over the past two years. It has been my absolute pleasure to serve as your President and to visit your clubs and make new friends. I am proud of what we accomplished together and wish each of you continued success as you work for Victory in 2016. My best wishes go to all of the incoming officers and chairs, I know that Olivia and her team will do a fantastic job serving you in the Biennium.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you all! I’ll see you in Sacramento next January.
Carla
