Exciting days ahead...

[Hayley Solich]

Yesterday we had our first event for 2009 and the group of women that came together at my house to discuss the future of Women Can and what they wanted to see us do this year, provided us with a solid platform from which to build. Of those gathered, a new committee has been formed. The new committee members are:

June Kelly
Jennifer Crossland
Janine Felt
Hayley Solich

and two others have volunteered for service once their applications have been processed.

The plan for 2009 is:

1. To continue The Girlfriend Club for 2009. On the first Saturday of the month there will definitely be an event, so please get your diary out and mark that day out so you can make sure you don't miss out. It may be a morning, afternoon or evening event, depending on what the event is.

2. To value add by offering skills workshops including social media/computer skills, digital photo manipulation, life planning/goals, health and family/household management.

3. To run one retreat to help women to "Discover their Dream", then to form partnerships to help one another achieve their dream.

For our Girlfriend Club program, I would like all members to give 12 ideas of things they would DEFINITELY want to do, not things they think others may be interested in doing. For example, I would DEFINITELY like to participate in some adventurous, outdoor activities with other women.

If anyone was interested in participating on the committee but were unable to attend the meeting last Saturday, please email me ASAP.

Wishing you all a wonderful 2009.

Regards
Hayley

PS Just to clarify, the vision for the Girlfriend Club is and always has been for the women that come to bring their girlfriends with them, as it was designed to be an opportunity to catch up with your girlfriends and at the same time extend your circle of influence by networking with other people's girlfriends as well. I you want to participate, I would encourage you to invite your friends to come with you. It is a very NON-THREATENING and supportive environment, where information and knowledge is transferred in a positive way.
