Where is the Newsletter!?!?

 Well it is already February and I am sure our members are wondering…. WHERE IS THE NEWSLETTER!!

Hmmmm where is the newsletter? To be honest, the newsletter is a little behind at the moment. Not forgotten I promise, but due to some really exciting changes, its creation was put on the backburner. Not for long though, you should all see a copy in the next few week.

I’m sure by now you are all wondering what could possibly be so exciting that the news letter was put aside…. Believe me, it was worth it!

There are a few that I am going to announce right now.

Get ready for SaskWITT on Facebook! That’s right, as of sometime mid-February SaskWITT will have a Facebook page. We are really, very excited and you can be sure we are hoping you will all view and like our page. It will have all sorts of lovely things like links to other organizations, to our corporate members, and best of all, it will be a place to organize. . .

SaskWITT Fun Nights. Starting this month we will be organizing fun nights for SaskWITT members. This month it will be bowling, but we are looking for suggestions for other activities that we can put on in other nights.

In other (perhaps not as fun, but just as exciting) news, BHRs are opening up to the public. For those of you that are not familiar, BHR stands for Basic Home Repair. These are clinics that SaskWITT has been providing to SIAST and the University of Regina. It allows women to take clinics on basic plumbing, painting, drywalling, electrical repairs around the house. Starting in March, we will accepting contracts from companies and organizations, and the clinics will now also be open to men.

How about more opportunities to be involved with SaskWITT closer to home? For all of our members that don’t live in Regina, we are going to try and bring activities and programs to you! At the AGM in March we will be opening the floor for volunteers to open 2 Chapters in Saskatoon and Prince Albert.

And that’s not all…. But I will save the rest for the Newsletter and AGM, it will give you all something to look forward to though all of the cold winter weather we are suffering through.

Cheers!
