ost of us make resolutions that will improve our lives in the New Year. Now is a good time to look at what our organization is going to be in the future. The Federated Women's Institutes of Canada is doing that with a Past Presidents' Essay Competition on "Where are we going? Directions to the 21st Century" which is your chance to pass on your ideas for the future to the F.W.I.C. See the instructions on this page.
We are celebrating Alberta's Centennial this year and everyone will want to take part. The CBC (Television and Radio) in Alberta are going to be traveling throughout the province, talking to the people, and finding out what it means to you to be from Alberta. They are asking for centennial stories and let them know why they should visit your community, town or city to participate in your 2005 festivities. Ideas can be e-mailed to them at alberta100@cbc.ca. Also in May of 2005 they will launch a centennial legacy web site. Until then you can visit www.cbc.ca/alberta100 for updates on CBC centennial programs and events. This is a great year to be traveling around our province and joining in the celebrations. At our AWI Convention the theme is "Let's Celebrate Alberta". Something new this year is a Silent Auction. Please periodically check the silent auction table to see how the bids are doing. The money raised from the various tables will again help with the Convention expenses. For anyone attending the banquet we would like people to dress in a fashion that was worn during the last century. During the evening we will have a fashion parade to see what everyone wore. I hope everyone will come and help Celebrate Alberta's Centennial. In Alberta we contributed to the completed ACWW Projects and a progress report has been given. The gravel-making project in India has the women now earning a small income and making improvements in the economical sectors. They paid off their debts, provide food for the children, and send them to school. They have improved their education & other skills. The Kenya, Lorgot project was the fruit and vegetable building, which helped earn income. The money will be used to expand the project. This will benefit others in the community for many years to come. Uganda was the water well project and it will continue to provide clean water to the community for a long time. Some of the participants were trained to look after the borehole to ensure the water supply is in good working order. The beneficiaries contribute a small amount towards the fund that would enable them to meet the cost of any major repair. The lives of the women have changed for the better. We have lost Hoping W.I. branch as they decided to disband but the other branches are very active. Bow Island W.I. sold popcorn at a Street Dance and laid a wreath on Remembrance Day. Burdett W.I. discussed the drilling of a well in Haiti and wrote to the Government on funding the Taber Safe House. International W.I. held a fundraiser bake sale and helped a senior move. Irvine W.I. planted and maintains flowers at the crossing and worked on 2 resolutions. Glendale W.I. had information on fruit and vegetables (not well known) and catered a Lions dinner. Kirkcaldy W.I. donated to Harbor House and made quilt blocks. Langdon W.I. had a paper on citizenship and donated to the food hamper and the Christmas card. Westoe W.I. caters at various functions and does meals on wheels.wi
