President's Message
Welcome to (almost) September, and our End-of-Summer newsletter. I hope everyone had an opportunity to enjoy the summer, either travelling or here in beautiful Stratford.
Your Executive Committee has been working hard over these past months, and we will be kicking off a new season in September with an exciting new program and celebrating our 70th birthday!
Our first meeting will be Tuesday September 24th at 7pm at our new location, Stratford District Secondary School. We are meeting in the former Drama Room, which is accessed from the Short Street parking lot. Access is completely barrier-free and there is lots of parking available.
This is our Meet and Greet meeting - we will introduce our program theme and speakers for the year, and have the signups for all of our Interest and Advocacy groups – including some new ones. Please make sure to attend and bring your friends.
You may have noticed that there is a new look and feel to our newsletter. We'll be sharing our new 70th birthday branding and a new website - look for more details in our next newsletter. Also included in the September newsletter will be our Membership Survey. Please contact Bev Symons, our new Newsletter
Coordinator, if you have any other updates to include.
Finally, a huge shout-out to Helene Crabb and Margaret Thompson for the success of their Scholarship fundraising walks - over $5,700 was raised in just a few short weeks! Bravo!
I am very honored to be President on our 70th anniversary and the celebration of our ongoing tradition of Fellowship, Scholarship, and Advocacy in our community, country and internationally. I look forward to see everyone again at the Meet and Greet,
Cambria Ravenhill
