Happy New Year!
THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
"Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the World" - Hillary Clinton
MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:
Ladies,
There are only 143 days to go. Therefore, we must make some decisions so that we can get things booked.
One thing that must be booked as soon as possible is the Winnipeg day trip. There are three options, and we need to know which trip to book. This will be decided by the most votes received by the 15 January 2022, currently, only 12 people have voted. If you are a memeber and do not receive emails, please contact us here and we will send you the link to vote.
The results of the most popular excursion will be posted in the February newsletter. We kindly request that those who plan to go on the selected trip, send payment for themselves and those accompanying them at that point. This is so that we know how many tickets to reserve. Thank you.
If you are a member and wish to attend the reunion and require more information, please contact us here.
Registration fee for the reunion is $250. If you plan on attending, and have not already sent your non-refundable deposit of $50, please send it as soon as possible. The remaining $200 is due by 24 February, 2022, in order to facilitate ordering of pins, nominal rolls, etc. Your assistance in this timing would be greatly appreciated by the committee.
STAMP COLLECTING FOR CHARITY:
Flo Reid writes: Just a reminder to keep collecting and sending your postage stamps. I have been getting lots of stamps in the mail and have had some wonderful conversations with some of our ex-airwomen from coast to coast. Also, it gives me something to do in these COVID times.
If you have any questions, please phone Flo at 403-990-1556 or e-mail flobobreid@shaw.ca.

We donate these stamps to Oxfam Canada. To find out more about Oxfam click here.
