its second Soviet Letter Writ

campaigns will be held with
the Sunday schools of both
Temples and Hebrew High.
Participants wrote letters to

that he possesses State se

A Leadership Training
Conference was held Satur
day and Sunday, April 1 and
2, at the Embassy Suite
Hotel. It was attended by all
outgoing office holders, in
coming officers, and repre
sentatives from the South
Atlantic Region: Gail Rubin-
son, vice chairperson, Terri
Cathcart and Joan Gordon.
“If Looks Could Kill,” a
video tape, was shown to
illustrate the interaction
between people, both on a
confrontational level and a
positive level. A lovely
brunch was then served
which gave us time to dis
cuss the movie we had just
seen.
Then the real down-to-
earth meeting started. A
definite program was chosen
to illustrate just how to or
ganize something from in
ception to completion: items
such as involving as many
people as possible in carry
ing out the program, month-
by-month goals and finally
a follow-up critique after the
program. It was a lively
conference and everyone left
feeling excited and antici
pating a good new year for
BBW.
Wednesday, April 5, the
installation of new officers
was held at the Bamboo
Garden Restaurant. Jody
Pinion, outgoing president,
presented the year-end re
port. We accomplished many
tasks: amblyopia testing,
participation in a Mental
Health Fair at SouthPark,
Gift Wrap, participating in
the Special Olympics and
many other activities. We
ended the year with 275
members, including 26 new
members and 54 lifetime
members. Jody awarded cer
tificates to all committee
chairpersons. She was pres
ented with a beautiful piece
of statuary in appreciation
of the fine leadership shown
during her time of office.
Gail Rubinson presented
Beth Linderman, president
of our chapter during 1988,
with the Sidney G. Kusworm
award, the highest honor to
be given to any local chap
ter. The Installation Pro
gram was conducted by Ter
ri Cathcart and Beth Lind
erman. A Steering Commit
tee comprised of Margie
Liebstein, Abbi Bryan and
Rovman, will serve
this coming year instead of
a president.
We participated in a walk
for Muscular Dystrophy on
April 9 and worked at the
Special Olympics on April
13.
A very special program on
Travel will be held May 24:
A breakfast meeting at Rain
tree Country Club, fashions
by “OUR PLACE” and a
travel guide for long wee
kends by the AAA. For furth
er information contact Nina
Haas, 3^-1029.
