told the ladies of how their department can
always be of assistance in their branch
meetings, handicraft judging and as an
information bureau. ' Effective Speaking' by
Sharon Bazant of St. Albert was a highlight.
It does not matter when we speak, but it
taught us how to always be ready to meet the
challenge. The Provincial Education
Conveners of the A. W. I. presented their goals
and accomplisments in a panel.
These workshops are held once a year for
the executive and conveners, but their
expenses were paid through a grant from the
Wild Rose Foundation this time.
