By Joan King As I sit at my desk beginning to write the tall Iumn tor the Home & Country, it is hard to believe that the summer of 2000 is almost gone. It seems to me that the older we get, the taster time seems to fly by. Even though many Branches do not have spe- cific meetings during the summer. Women's Institute is still being promoted to potential mem- bers throughout the province through various activities, like quilt shows. garden parties and millennium events. This brings me to an imponant reminder. Good publicity torther can be obtained by registering your Branch, District or Area millennium project, whether completed or ongoing. with the "Our Millennium â€" An Initiative of Community Founda- tions of Canada." The categories include the environment. youth and children, care and sup- port. heritage, arts and culture, satety. learning, connections and recreation. There is also an- other category tor 'other' it your project does not fit in to any of the above. I do have a millennium project registry iorm which I could fax to you upon request. Or they can be obtained at the Iotiowing address: Our Millennium 201- 49 Front St. E. Toronto ON MSE 133 Fax: 4116-3674660 Email. into@ourmillennium.ca Website: www.curmillenniumca Another current project is the revision of the Program Coordinator’s Manual. I have received a number ot inquiries about what the new posi- tion of Education Coordinator entails. At the March Board Meeting. my committee and l were entrusted with the task of revising the original manual. Until this task is done and passed by the Board. please refer to your Handbook.
