The President’s Message
Greetings! A new year begins and
I have the privilege to serve as your
President for the 2014-2015 year. I
look forward to it with anticipation!
One of our biggest accomplishments last year was
Recruitment. We hosted the complimentary, “Be
Our Guest” event set up a phone drive to encourage
previous members to renew and gave out eyecatching business cards for members to pass on to
others. We were successful with over 300 members
by April! We will continue on with these initiatives!
Public Awareness is our theme for 2014-2015. The
Executive decided that it was time to strategically
spread the “good news” of our organization. On
your behalf, we want to inform the public about
RWTO/OERO and our events, entertainment,
interest groups and the outreach component of
our organization that exemplifies our ‘caring and
sharing’ motto. And how can we do this? By
submitting articles to local newspapers, inviting
newspaper reporters to events, posting events on
community bulletin boards and sharing our business
cards. So get ready for lights, camera and action!
We have an exciting year lined up with our events,
entertainment and the continuation of our many
interest groups. Please do not hesitate to contact
me or any Executive member if you have ideas for
new ways that members can become involved and
have fun, or if you want to start a new Interest
Group! There will be a “Suggestion Box” at all
events this coming year!
I sincerely thank the Table Officers, the Executive
and all of you who continue to be dedicated to
RWTO/OERO! Cheers to the hard-working and
enthusiastic women of Hamilton-Wentworth!
