PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015
I wish all the New Waves a very Happy, Healthy
New Year. A year filled with great social events
and speakers that will make us laugh, smile and
make us think.
Some of us will win the 50/50, but all of us
ladies will receive a flower on our Birthday.
All of us make this club a fun place to be with
friends. So again, I wish all my Friends a Great New Year.

NOVEMBER SPEAKER
November's Speaker was Ed Parkes, the chair of the Georgian Triangle
Crime Stoppers Committee. His presentation was interesting and
compelling. All of us can be the 'eyes of Wasaga' and work together to reduce
crime in our own communities. The anonymous tips received to date have helped solve numerous
cases and have reduced crime throughout the Georgian Triangle. Volunteers are welcomed on this
fairly new committee. For more details about the program and how you can make a difference, check
out www.crimestopperssdm.com. If you have a tip for authorities, call 1-800-222-8477.
DON’T FORGET:
The Secretary’s Minutes of the last General Meeting and the Treasurer’s Summary
of the Club’s finances are posted at the front of the room. Please read them!
