Upper Cape Cod BPW Bulletin
June 2009
President's Letter I wish to thank Beverly Wall-Cedrone and all the members for the wonderful Installation at our May Dinner Meeting. Our meetings have been well attended over this past year and your support has been greatly appreciated. Members have again stepped up to the plate and volunteered to assist on the various committees. Many positions are still available so please offer your assistance, please do not hesitate even if only able to do so on a limited scale. Our intended goal for the upcoming year is to increase our membership and our involvement in the community. Our food donations this past year were just one example of how we are able to assist the four towns which we represent. Our Scholarship Program and our involvement with the Emerson House and Carriage House are examples of our contributing to women in need. Should you have a project that you wish the Board to consider, please speak to or email myself or a member of the Board. With the exception of July your Board will continue to hold monthly meetings. I wish to thank Mary Mendoza for sitting in for me at State Convention, enclosed please find her full report. I will continue to pass on all updates which I receive in regards to the State’s position and BPW Foundation information. In closing I wish everyone a very Safe, Healthy and Happy Summer!! Betty A. Moffitt	State Convention Report THIS IS NOT THE REPORT COPY! -- State and Locals would continue on, however no National dues would be in effect thus changes would be made on the State and Local levels as to their dues structure. This merger would eliminate the National legislation platform, mandated National By-laws and allow payment of State and Local dues only, Proposed State By-law changes were discussed and will be brought to the May 15, 2009 Convention to be voted on. As we are all aware, both State and Local By-law changes will be necessary following a BPW/USA merger with BPW Foundation. Amy Kates and Evelyn Young, who are both BPW members and financial planners presented a very interesting and informative program in regards to Women & Money—Making Good Financial Decisions. The call to May 15, 2009 State Convention will be placed in the April Bay State News. Mary Mendoza 2009 Scholarship Recipient This year our scholarship recipient is Kerri DePasqua.
