President's Message

Happy 2018!
I hope you’ve all had a great holiday season and have stayed true to your New Year resolutions!  I’m sure we’ve all made similar ones; take better care of ourselves, help others more, spend more time with family, and of course lose weight.  I’m sure some of our upcoming speakers can help you towards achieving your resolutions:

• January had Andrea Foster and Sandy Eagle speaking to us about human trafficking and what they go to various schools and locations to present.
• February we are hosting the Intercity Dinner with the theme “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
• March will feature Judy Donahue from the AAUW with her presentation about equal pay, with information about local and national inequalities, bills needing to pass through legislature, and what women can do to step up and advocate for equal pay for women.
• April brings the annual auction that raises money for our convention fund that helps us educate our members.  I’m asking that you all help in some way.  Maybe consider giving a donation?  Anything is welcome, baskets, certificates for experiences, items you’re not using, used furs, and of course wine!  You could also help the Ways and Means committee by calling businesses for donations, putting baskets together, or being a Vanna on the night of the Auction.  Lastly you can attend the Auction and spend money.

In conclusion, I want to take a minute to thank you for all of your service.  We had a great turn out for the Santa Parade and you’ve all helped make the 2017 Homewalk a great success!
​
Yours in Service, 

Karla L. Oldenburg, President
