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 fortified at every turn. I cannot shout loudly enough the support and encouragement I have enjoyed from our President, Office 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 find 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 specifically 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!
