Spring, 2000 to As I set out to write this newsletter, the days are getting longer and surely Spring cannot be far behind. We also begin traveling about the province, meeting you all at District and Constituency Conferences. I am optimistic that many of you will find the time to attend the conferences planned for your area. Not only will you learn more about Alberta Women's Institutes, but you will have an opportunity to meet with friends from other branches that you don't see often enough. Speaking of friends, that is exactly what we will be celebrating at the Convention in Olds on May 26 & 27. FRIENDSHIP - The Thread Binding Today and Tomorrow is the theme for the Convention. It is my hope that everyone who attends will capture that spirit of friendship that nurtures and keeps our organization together. Do you have a story of a special friendship thai happened because of your membership in Alberta Women's Institutes? If so, please take a moment to write it down and send to me. I would like to share special friendship stories throughout the convention. The friendship that members have gained throughout the years is what is holding us together as we move into a new century. Membership is declining, but friendship remains Share your story! Deadline for Convention Registration is May 5 - Don't be late! LINES - by the time this mailing comes out most branches will have received their video and kit for the Literacy Project - LINKS. Please take time at a branch meeting to view the video, review the material in the kit and discuss whether your branch or constituency might participate in a project. Talk to the Literacy Councils in your area and find out what they are doing to promote literacy among adults in the community. And most importantly, take a moment to complete the evaluation and return to the Edmonton Office. Sales Items The history book, Many and Remarkable, is still available from the office. We have reduced the price to $ 15.00 and the book makes an excellent gift for speakers or visitors to your branch. Council has approved the commission of Randy Crick to design a painting that can be placed on T- shirts, Bags, napkins, notepaper and many other possible mediums that will be strictly used by Alberta Women's Institutes. This will not likely be ready for Convention, but we hope to have sale items available for fall FWIC Convention All available applications to attend the FWIC Convention in Brandon have been taken. IfyoB would still like to attend, let the office know and should any extra applications become available from other provinces, we will notify you immediately. Convention attendants are requested to bring one or a set of Christmas Ornaments to the value of $ 5. As well, each District is responsible for craft items to the value of $ 40. These can be brought to the Convention in Olds where they will be boxed and I will transport to Brandon as I am traveling by 5* Wheel Monies collected from the sale of the craft items will go toward the cost of convention and the sale of Christmas Ornaments will support the Hoodless Homestead. All provinces have been asked to support FWIC in this manner. Farm Safety Day Camps There are still some funds available as start- up money if branches are considering a Safety Day Camp for their area. Contact the office for information. • _
