CWIT Board of Directors’ Meeting
Saturday, October 2, 2010
Redding, California
Shasta Chapter elected our Officers for 2010/2011. Julie
Clausen will remain as Chapter Chair; Kathy Smith is SWIT Vice
Chair, Kathy Losekoot remains as Treasurer, and Patty Pierce remains
as SWIT Secretary and Chapter Rep to the CWIT Board of Directors.
We remain hopeful that the Chapter will be able to grow and prosper
if we can limp along for a while longer… We have been plagued by
illnesses that have kept us from realizing our fundraising and
membership growth goals for this year. We are planning on having
a garage sale this fall to assist us in bringing in some funds.
The funds we raised last year helped two SWIT members, Julie Clausen
and Kathy Losekoot, to attend the FWIT Fly-In to DC in March of
this year. They both also greatly benefited from the generous travel
assistance from both CWIT and from Siskiyou Chapter. We were also
able to assist Patty and SWIT friend and supporter Sharon Teague
serve as volunteers at the Forestry Exhibit at the California State
Fair in July.
Our baskets for Annual Meeting were prepared and fun to make.
Our Chapter will pay registration for 3 members to attend the Annual
Meeting. SWIT members also donated a basket personally to make
more baskets for drawing at Annual Meeting.
Julie Clausen and Kathy Losekoot have also prepared a presentation
on Federated Women In Timber (FWIT) for the luncheon at Annual
Meeting. Handouts will be distributed at the event.
Respectfully Submitted,
Patty Pierce, Chapter Rep
