Message From The President

Dear CHW Family:

As we usher in a New Year, I would like to welcome my executive, old and new, in the hope that we, along with our entire membership can make this year the most successful one yet!

The upcoming season is about to start, with an Opening Luncheon to be held on October 25th, at our local synagogue, where CHW will be honoring a woman of distinction, Esther Starkman. She has worked tirelessly on many boards, and has contributed much to the community at large.

Another project in the works that I have been working on is the establishment of a new young women's Hadassah-WIZO chapter, and the response, so far, has been great! As well, we are in the planning stages of our Summer Event, which we hope to hold in May 2010. So, all in all, I think we are off to a great start!

The past year has seen many changes take place in the organization. Our new National President Marla Dan (originally from Edmonton) took up the helm after the tragic passing of Terry Schwarzfeld z'l. We can be very proud of our organization, in that we are standing strong and our commitment to our projects in Israel have not faltered.

At the National Executive Board meeting I recently attended in Montreal, a new slogan was introduced to CHW for our annual campaign, and it reads "Light their future, the need is now!" With this in mind, let's continue to strive for success and dedication to all the projects we support in Israel.? The future is in our hands!

Anita Vinokoor
President, CHW Edmonton
