    Dear BPW Colleagues,
 
Susan Weidner Cooke, President We ended our year and membership meetings with Sheryl Dutra talking about Emotional Intelligence. Once again our speaker provided us with beneficial information we could use in our professional and personal lives. Several members were honored by the Membership Committee for their years of membership, involvement in the organization, and number of guests that attended meetings.

Although we will not have a membership meeting in July and August, the Board will meet both months and we encourage the committees to also meet so the organization can continue to move forward. At this time, we are reviewing the surveys completed by the members, and lining up programs and speakers for the fall to see what adjustments we may be making in the fall.

In September we will have the installation of officers as well as our regular program. All guests attending this meeting will be the same as members. We encourage you to mark your calendars for the third Thursday of each month so you don't miss any of new programs coming up.

Here's hoping you have an enjoyable summer and I look forward to seeing you in the fall.

Respectfully Submitted,
Susan Weidner Cooke, President
