Centenary Celebrations and Resolutions
Sapphires had the pleasure of listening to a talk about the Resolutions being put forward by WI's in 2019 for consideration as to the Resolution members will vote for at the AGM in Bournemouth in June 2019. The new CFWI advisor Alia El Asmar came and gave us a brief talk on resolutions and timescales and also what the WI has achieved since 1918.
Our Second Speaker for the night was Jean Harding the Chairwoman of CFWI. she told Sapphires all about the Centenary Celebrations for 100 years of the Cheshire Federation in 2020.
