Hello to you all,
I have two news items to report:
1. Through the teleconferences we have been doing once a month, we have been able to reach out beyond our Canadian borders to our American sisters! This is truly exciting for numerous reasons! First it closes the gap between us that exists simply due to the many physical miles which separate us geographically, and secondly it helps support their initiative to form their own virtual club! BPW Canada has really done pioneering work with the Virtual Club, and now we can share and help others. I have been in communication not only with our sisters to the south, but also with IFBPW. There is a true interest in what can happen if the virtual aspect is used to its fullest potential!
With that in mind, I strongly encourage you to take a tour of your national experiment! Ask about us! We are more than eager to discuss the possibilities! Also, there are two more teleconferences pending! If you are interested just contact me, Crystal Sissons, at csissons1@yahoo.ca
Information about our February 16th speaker is on the last entry, and our March 16th speaker's information will be posted shortly.
This is also an early notice that we will be doing a fundraising teleconference for Timea Nagy's Walk With Me Organization in April! More information on that to come! Timea spoke at the national conference on human trafficking, and her organization works to combat its many forms.
2. CARE Canada is marking International Women's Day by challenging you to walk! Yes, you heard it, walk! The idea is to literally take a walk in our less fourtunate sister's shoes by emulating their daily walking from March 2nd to March 8th. For more information please see:
