Fellow Progressians,

Welcome to the first electronic issue of The Progression for this millennium!

The National Web Site will continue to develop and become an invaluable tool for all of us.  Publishing The Progression on line is just one way that we are hoping to increase our use of this medium and get everyone familiar with all of the benefits it has to offer.  It is also a great way to make sure that there is always something new on the site.

For this first issue, members of your National Executive have submitted articles on issues that will be discussed at this year’s National Convention and Annual General Meeting.  These issues will no doubt raise some discussion amongst club members, and that is exactly what is intended.  We hope that you take some time to read and reflect on the proposals and suggestions and discuss them at your club meetings prior to the National Convention.

Future issues of The Progression need submissions from YOU…all of you!  It is imperative that you continue to submit articles and photos to be included in your national newsletter.  The intent is to publish monthly, and to keep the membership apprised of the latest developments around the country.

The preferred file types for your submissions are MS Word documents for the articles and JPG files for the photos. 

Don’t wait for deadlines anymore. Be proactive and publicize your activities before they occur.  Let us know about your upcoming events, special occasions and fundraisers.  The more advance notice given, the more likely other club members will be out to show support.  The Progression is also a wonderful way to introduce the rest of country to your new members.  Be creative.  Don’t just introduce them by name; tell us more about what they do, what they would rather be doing, what movies they like, what their favourite ice cream flavour is.  The most important thing to remember is to have some fun with your submissions.

So get those fingers tapping on the computer keyboard, and make sure you’ve designated someone to be your club photographer.  Send in your submissions now, and keep us all informed!

Yours for Progress,

Molly Trussler
