Happenings
Hello, Everyone: We are having our League Development Day on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at Holy Trinity Church in Nanaimo, B.C. For those of you who are visiting this church for the first time, remember to drive around to the back of the building.
We hope to have as many of you attend this event as it will be full of information YOU want to know and be lots of fun greeting your CWL sisters once more.
Here is the poster with all the information.
Dear Barbara: I am so sorry you missed our Diocesan Conference up in Courtenay, BC on May 3rd and 4th. It was amazing. First of all, there were more people registered than anyone can remember! And some of our members have long memories. How good was that? And our sisters came from all over the island in droves. That’s a joke. Everyone had to drive to get there!
Not only that, our guest speakers and diocesan people were great. Betty C , our National Vice President received rave reviews as did our very own Christa C. Our sisters said they would like to follow up on their workshops and learn more. Also, if you can believe it, the evaluation forms said we would like to hear more about parliamentary procedures. That’s a first and it shows how powerful these speakers and Parish President Maureen I. were.
The Bishop came complete with his dog and gave one of his inspiring talks. Later, he celebrated Mass with our Spiritual Advisor, Father Mike who is such a gift from God.
The banquet was quite an affair with a great buffet and down home maritime music. This also got great reviews from our respondents. I also heard verbally and on paper that this conference created and MC’d by our Diocesan President, Bertha L. , was the best they’ve ever gone to. Good going, Bertha! You done good.
Oh, and one more thing. Our sisters at Christ the King were the perfect hosts. The food was great, the setting perfect and their hard working council members always warm and friendly. A big round of applause to everyone involved with this event.
Again, I am so sorry that you missed the Conference. But . . .next year’s Diocesan Conference will be held mid-island. I’ll let you know when the date and location are set so you can plan to attend.
Your Sister in the League and friend,
Ger
PS I nearly forgot, here are some photos Christa and Bonie sent me. I hope you enjoy them.
