By Membership Coordinator, Debbie Bauer I have a plan and YES, WE CAN! Women Inspiring Women, Women Interested, Women Involved â€" they all apply equally. The tour has been getting wonderful, positive responses. I now have many true partners in our membership challenge and I am fortiï¬ed at every turn. I cannot shout loudly enough the support and encouragement I have enjoyed from our President, Ofï¬ce Staff (Andrea and Kim particularly), and our Board Directors. I am over halfway through the workshop tour (12 down and 7 to go), and still looking forward to ourjourney into the North as well as the Eastern part of our Province. You will ï¬nd my fall schedule on the website or in an upcoming Eâ€"Blast and just as my spring schedule focused on workshops; the fall schedule will focus on new Branches. That’s right, new Branches everywhere I go! Start now deciding where you would like to have a new Branch. Call me; I have an easy to follow 'roadâ€"map’ designed speciï¬cally for this purpose and we can set a date (with at least 5 weeks’ notice), for an Information Night in your location. Let’s share what we love about WI; others will love it too. Let’s get excited! Let’s get moving! Let’s get growing! See you soon!
