February 2023 - President's Report
By Esther Bird
BPWEV Sisters – we have started off our new year with six new members! That sure is reason to celebrate. Welcome to the following newest members: Joanne McLaren, Cathy Fraser, Annie McDonnell, Mary Ann Knoeckel, Kristina Bow and Kathi Obendorfer. We are pleased to have each of you as a member of our local organization.
January 20th was our annual Wine Tasting Event held at Rumours Wine Bar. Thanks to our committee chairs: Cyndi Fredricks and Deb Straw, plus the other committee members and everyone who has helped make this a successful event. We had a nice crowd attend the event and everyone had a wonderful time.
The next event coming up on March 25 is a women’s workshop. This event is titled “Build Intellectual Muscle – Women’s Professional Development Workshop. “ The event will begin at 11 am and held at Jacaranda Public Library. As with all our events, our co-chairs Stephanie Marcusky and Amanda Foster need some members to step forward and say that they will help and serve on the committee. There will be four powerful speakers on topics related to how you can become more successful in your career.
As a member, you are encouraged to volunteer and get involved. Your participation will help so much. Any member who has a suggestion on an event we could have to raise money for scholarships, please don’t be shy and let us know.
Our board meeting this month will be via zoom rather than in person. We will go back to face-to-face meetings next month. Please remember, all members are invited to attend board meetings. Officers and committee chairs are expected to attend if possible. Members who attend board meetings have the opportunity to express their opinions on various topic that will require changes. Only officers can vote, but we always want to know the opinions of our members.
If you can join the zoom call, the meeting will be on Thursday, January 26 at 7pm. Meeting number is 883 8129 3009, password is 2222. If you are not familiar with zoom and want some assistance, call me at 315-440-6814 and I will walk you through the process.
