Rct**iipvdto*iW Dodge CHRYSLER J The annual International meeting of the Bowmanvillc Business and Professional Women's Club is always always eminent. This year's held on February 17th, was no exception. The meeting began with a candle-lighting ceremony representing countries which are part of the International Federation of Business and Professional Professional Women. The International Federation is a dynamic and powerful organization uniting women around the world. Following this tribute, members and guests were captivated by a lecture lecture given by guest speaker Lynn Burke representing "Sleeping Children Children Around The World." The Canadian organization was founded by Murray Dryden in 1970 and is run completely by volunteers. Ms. Burke is one of five volunteers who travelled to Thailand in November November of last year to deliver bedkits to needy children. These bedkits can vary slightly from country to country, but one might includc-soap, t-shirt, sweat shirt, pyjamas, mosquito netting, netting, blanket and pillow. All of this is given to a 6 to 12-year-old child for a contribution of $30.00 Ms. Burke as- "Vision" is Theme of Toastmasters Meeting We have joined Toastmasters because because we want to be successful and professional in our social lives. Chairman Toastmaster Joe Christl welcomed everyone to the meeting. His theme "Vision" occurs when new conditions and new challenges must be met. "Vision" begins with the individual, individual, then becomes an integral part of group expectations. Vision - is to see beyond. Things that arc seen in dreams become reality. Our expectations, expectations, through the process' of Toastmasters, Toastmasters, are to sec beyond our participation participation this evening. The outcomes of a vision are: (a) Spiritual - we must determine a vision, (b) We must be strong (c) We will achieve by our involvement. involvement. sured those in attendance that the donation donation goes totally to helping a Third World child. Other expenses incurred arc paid for by volunteer work and a trust fund set up by Murray Dryden. Ms. Burke related some of her experiences experiences while on her trip (travelling expenses are paid by the volunteer) with some slides and heart- wrenching stories about hundreds of children being lined up waiting to get a bedkit and how some of them had never seen white people. The organization organization has presently worked with 29 countries and goes to different villages villages and camps each year to try to help as many children as possible. Prior to leaving on an expedition, the volunteers have a briefing and video on what to expect. Ms. Burke advised that you need to be-in good health, flexible and energetic to be a volunteer. A day working on one of the trips would entail a distribution in the morning and afternoon, of bedkits and photographing all the children with the donors name in the picture. Ms. Burke pointed out that there was employment for "Third World" families through this project as well because many of the items in the kit are made locally in the countries involved. involved. Another positive gain from this work for the children is that Ms. Burke and other volunteers try to get the children here in Canada involved by doing fund raising etc. This is a wonderful experience for the Canadian Canadian children and it teaches them about different countries and cultures. Ms. Burke spoke of schools, churches, Rotary and Lions Clubs all working together for the same causc- to help the children through this organization. organization. After hearing Ms. Burke speak of her involvement, I know we all went, away with a great respect for the ac-; complishmcnts made by her and other other volunteers. Ms. Burke hopes to make Panama her next destination in the fall of this year. This month, the club will be hear^ ing from Pam Jackson about the Ontario Ontario Advisory Council on Women's Issues.

With that in mind, here arc a few more pointers you may find useful when away on holidays. i) always ensure that you take travel insurance, it protects you and your family in the event of injury, accidents or even trip cancellation. ii) with the March Break upon us you should remember to pack the sun block and hats for everyone if you arc heading anywhere south. If you should be going outside of North America, it is wise to consider purchasing some bottled water when you arrive. Tap water may be unhealthy at certain destinations, ns a rule of thumb I always recommend bottled water. It is well worth the price. iii) Also, with the children travelling, travelling, give some thought to taking snacks. These arc good for between between meals in some areas and more importantly; children, (and some adults) do not always enjoy 'new and interesting'foods. iv) pack an extra foldable bag, just in case; you or the family find that one thing you just can not live without. v) when heading to the islands, often the hotel will not allow you access to your room prior to perhaps perhaps 3:00 p.m. even though your flight arrived at 10:00 a.m. Pack a bathing suit and some sun block in your carry on hag and you will be able to start on the tan just that much earlier. If by plane, boat or cor you are travelling this March Break have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
