<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Apologies to all for the lack of communication from Annee and
I this last year. As you know Annee has been very ill with cancer. However, you
probably don't know that I have been dealing with my chronically ill mother
while myself struggling with debilitating migraine headaches. My dear mum passed
away, at the age of 83, last Saturday night and her funeral is this Wednesday so
I will be moving into the next chapter in my life.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Unfortunately, due to my health issues, which are improving,
and to a lack of funds due to the expenses involved with visiting and assisting
my mother, I will not be attending this years national convention - much to my
misery.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Nevertheless, Annee and I have kept in touch and, though
we have not had the year we would have wished, and our service to you and the
division has suffered, we will move on despite set backs...because we must!
We are still planning a meeting and will share details as soon as things are in
place for sure. There are still some concerns with the constitution so this has
not yet been submitted to the national board. We hope to do this as soon as
possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The meeting information in the convention is WRONG. The half
day meeting is on Saturday. I will send out the info in a day or so. Thank you
everyone for your patience and understanding.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I noticed that in the convention agenda they list the PIBE
meeting at the same time as the NOPBC seminar on Friday. Am I mistaken and
are we meeting at another time?<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Denise
