"Party with the Parli"
Hello! I am a long time member of NHWT - 28
years to be precise (whooo). I originally moved
from Michigan in 1978 to go to graduate school
(Maternal and Child Health, School of Public
Health). We love it here!!
I am mother to two adopted sons, Matt who is 26
and Tom who has passed.
I currently work with
people needing bone marrow transplants through
Be The Match / National Marrow Donor Program
but I am counting the days to my retirement at the
end of this June.
I love WT as a way for people to come together in
friendship and community activities. I often host
membership coloring sessions and craft making
(although my skills are pretty remedial.) I enjoy
going 'up North' for fishing, reading and teaching
myself to quilt. If you come to my house you will
find dog and cat hair, dust and lots of books.
As your parliamentarian, my responsibilities are:
• over see the yearly bylaws and policy
review
• see that the chapter upholds our
bylaws/policies and those of MN Women
of Today
• help with parliamentary procedures as
outlined in Robert's Rules of Order
• help with any voting the requires a paper
ballet.
Questions? Ask me anything!

Two New USWT States
Having 7 completed extensions this year is very exciting
but to have two new states with two new chapters is so great. Let’s take a
moment to think about all the activities, projects, M-nights, chapter meetings,
fundraisers that these new states will experience. These communities will
become better places to live. They will shine with all the opportunities.
So let start these news states off right by sending them
a big welcome or a note of encouragement. Can we over fill their mailbox? YES
WE CAN!!!! Let’s see how many cards can be mail out before USWT convention in
Los Vegas. I will have a treat for you at convention if you mail one so let me
know by email (extensions@uswomenoftoday.org)
before June 7th.
Thanks, Colleen T
Please send your cards to:

The Lynn Struck Memorial Bench.
Lynn Struck passed
away October 15, 2014 surrounded by her loving family, after battling cancer
for 3 years. In her 57 years she touched the hearts and minds of people too
numerous to count. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Lynn
was an active, contributing member of both civic and religious organizations
including mission trips and religious education at the House of Hope. Lynn had the biggest heart and especially
loved kids. She was a home child care provider for many years. She also
volunteered her time to help at the Crisis Nursery, Ronald McDonald House, Red
Cross Babysitting Clinic, local schools and more!
As a 28 year member of
the new Hope Women of Today Lynn was instrumental in
recruiting new members and ensuring they felt welcome and
needed. She opened up her house for many meetings and social
events. Lynn initiated and chaired many
projects to benefit our community and worthy causes, such as Duk Duk
Daze, benefit dances and wreath sales that helped raise money for PRISM, Home Free,
the March of Dimes, the Lupus Foundation, School District 281, and many other
charities. Her giving nature kept her an active
member to ensure that our chapter continues to flourish and remain an integral
part of this community. Lynn truly left the world a better place!
In December of 2014 New Hope Women of Today started
the process to place a memorial bench at Northwood Park to honor Lynn’s many
years of faithful service to the community. Lynn’s Bench has now been placed at
its permanent home at Northwood Park along the walking path facing the pond and
a newly redesigned playground. It is a beautiful location to gather and reflect.
A simple community dedication will be held on Thursday, June 1, 2017 at 6:30 pm
for all to gather and share stories about Lynn. Ice Cream treats and beverages
will be provided for those in attendance.
The New Hope Women of
Today would like to thank the many members of our community that made personal
donations, the NHWT 2015 Annual Convention Committee, the Minnesota Women of
Today Foundation, and City of New Hope for their support and contributions to
this project. With the help of our many
community sponsors, along with the placing the bench we were able to donate $900 to the Frauenshuh Cancer Center at Park Nicollet in Memory of Lynn
Struck.
Highway & Park Clean Up!
Adopt-A-Highway and Park is scheduled for Thursday, May 25th.

A May Note from President Carrie.
Hello and welcome to a new year with the Women of Today! I
decided to take a HUGE leap outside my comfort zone and
tackle the presidency this year since I truly enjoy this
organization and all the ladies I have met.
I’m hoping to see us grow this year. Not just in membership, but
as a group and individually! I’d love to start “Thinking Outside
the Box”, find more projects for us to do and getting together a
bit more to get to know one another again.
But I can’t do this alone! So I hope you join me in Being
Courageous this year, step outside your comfort zone and help
make this a great year!

"BE COURAGEOUS"
Carrie Atkinson stepped up to be the NHWT 2017-18 Chapter President because in her words she had "20 seconds of insane courage" (from the movie We Bought a Zoo). I do believe with you as our leader something great will come of it.
