LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

March is the time for Spring Breaks and I hope those of you who have taken a vacation have had a great time.

The plans for Women on the Move® are being formed and Margo Snider will be forming a committee soon. If you would like to participate, please contact Margo.

We have a great membership and I am encouraging each of you to come to the monthly meetings. Jeann Howse has planned great programs. If you have not paid the 2005 dues for membership, please make your payment.

If you have ideas about fundraisers, please contact me. We are in the process of planning a fundraiser for August of 2005 and need your ideas. Mary Ann Collier, Director at Large is working on a survey for the membership to assist the board in our goal of increasing communication.

EXCITING INCENTIVE: Vice President of Communications, Shelia Johnstone-Ferrendelli has an incentive program for the membership. The member that brings the most guests to the monthly meetings will have her membership dues paid for the 2006 year.

The mentoring programs are very busy with great activities and career tours planned for the young women. If you would like to support any of the programs, please contact Beth Ann Scher. The mentoring programs can use funds for their activities. Individual and corporate sponsorships would be great.

Paul E. Brown, CEO/Founder of Cyber Evidence was the guest speaker for the March meeting. He told the group that he liked speaking to Women's' groups because they knew how to do professional meetings well. We have great talent and resources in the group and I learn so much from each of you.

We would also like to welcome our new members, Maureen Williams and Sandra Steitz.

INVITE GUESTS, COME TO THE ARPIL MEETING!

On February 4 th, the Westbury High Career Women of the Future had their most popular program to date, Dress for Success, presented by TEW's own Tiffany Utterson. Tiffany had a slide and video show for the girls, emphasizing professional dress for interviews and jobs. The girls came dressed as they would for an interview.
