R E P O R T OF RECORDING S E C R E T A RY
Mrs. J. N. Beaubier, Champion.
M a d a m President and Ladies,—
Father Time's clock never stops even for repairs, but persistently ticks off
the days, weeks and months in r a p i d succession until, before we realize it,
another year has slipped by and we must take stock of our achievements or
failures. What a faithful monitor is this A . W . I . Convention, k e e p i n g us on tiptoe
a l l the year through, that we may have something worth while to relate
to our friends and co- workers i n exchange for their new ideas and experiences.
It is my great pleasure to submit to you this report of the Recording
Secretary for the year 1930- 1931 at the Seventeenth Annual Convention. Lest
some of you may be harboring the impression that this office is merely one
of honor, without the usual penalty of labor attached, I shall mention a few
of the details in connection therewith.
\ meeting of the Council of A l b e r t a Women's Institutes was held in
C a l g a r y immediately f o l l o w i n g adjournment of the 1930 session. A l l unfinished
business left over f r om the Convention received attention. The usual expense
allowance of $ 300.00 for the use of the President, and the honorarium ot
$ 50.00 to the Recording Secretary, as authorized by the Convention, were
approved.
F i n a l arrangements for the A l b e r t a Women's Institute Exhibit at the
Canadian National E x h i b i t i o n were left with Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs.
Short, with the stipulation that expenditures connected therewith, including
those of the attendant, should not exceed $ 350.00. A full report of the exhibit
w i l l be given by M r s . H u y c k later in the session.
