NOTICE OF 2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given, that the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the members of:
CROWN JEWELS OF CANADA SOCIETY (the "Society")
Will be held on:

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE CROWN JEWELS OF CANADA SOCIETY™ FROM YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
September 25, 2013
A letter is being emailed to all members with respect to the 2014 rates for both membership and insurance. There have been some changes so please do not use our old forms as they are incorrect.
As of October 1st, the new forms will be posted on the member's website and included in the October newsletter. They will also be available from your Reps after October 1st.
Please do not send using an old form. Be sure it says "2014" on the top of the page.
INSURANCE
Last year
the underwriters raised the cost of our insurance but thankfully, our insurance
agent was able to get them to agree to keep the premium at the same low rate but this year, we have no choice but to pay the new rate which is $2.00 more than the 2013 rate. Premium payments are due in our office no later than February 14th,
2014 for you to be included in the 2014 policy. Insurance is optional and
available to those members/chapters who wish to participate in the policy. To
have this same amount of protection on your home policy would cost you an
additional $800.00 on top of what you presently pay, for this “umbrella”
policy. Therefore it is still an incredible bargain for our members.
MEMBERSHIP
At the
national convention’s Annual General Meeting a motion was made from the floor to raise the membership fee and it should be noted that this was passed by 100% of the members present.
Registration fees will remain as a one-time fee of $5.00 and there is no intention to ever change that.
Therefore, effective January 1st, 2014, membership renewals will increase. Complete information will be on the new 2014 membership renewal forms.

CONVENTION 2013
A huge thank you to Elaine and Sue and their committees. They really put on an outstanding long weekend for our Jewels who came from sea to sea to attend.
Congratulations to Carol from Lower Sackville NS who won the "Song Writing" contest! Debbie and Carol sand it for us at the AGM and we all had the tune playing in our heads the rest of the day. Cross Iron Mills contributed a bus and gift bags for those who wanted to go shopping.

First, this is your last chance call for the 2013 National Convention being held in Calgary, Alberta in September. Registration closes August 1st.
Registrations are now being accepted for our 4th Annual Cruise, departing Ft. Lauderdale, January 25th, cruising to the Eastern Caribbean. Join us for a week full of FUN!
For those who are having difficulties receiving our newsletters by email, we have a new way for you to access the newsletter archives. Click here to go to the site but first, obtain the password from your Provincial Representative, or your Queen.
If you are in or near B.C. you may wish to join the B.C. Jewels as they celebrate our 4th Anniversary with a Jalopy Jaunt (sight-seeing not a racing car rally) It's all about fun! Teams are 3/car (driver, navigator and spotter) and the cost is $99/team. Contact our office for details.
We are in the process of re-writing our By-Laws due to new regulations for all Canadian Non-Profits.
Our Jewels are excited as the 2014 National Convention will be held in Vancouver and in 2015 it's in Nova Scotia! Start saving ladies!
Our song contest ends next month but we are still accepting photos for the calendar.
Going south Snowbirds? Plan ahead and prepare your membership and insurance renewals early so that you can submit them to our office before you depart for warmer climates.
These Jewels recently went zip-lining and had so much fun they're planning to do it again soon! What have you been up to lately?

Queen turns 106 years young
Our April 2013 Newsletter has been sent to all members today. If it's not in your inbox, please check your junk mail folder. Read about the history of Victorian "Calling Cards" and an update on our National Convention in Calgary and a "thank you" letter from Queen Dorothy as well as lots of other information for our members.
Last month was an exciting time as some of us in British Columbia helped celebrate with HRH Queen Dorothy as she celebrated her 106th birthday - several times. First was a celebration with her family, which was televised by Global TV, then a luncheon with friends at her home, including myself and our B.C. Rep Sue. A few days later Queen Dorothy attended the luncheon of the Okanagan Valley Region Royal Court, attended by Queens and Vice Queens from chapters in the area.
This month I am joining our Alberta Director and Provincial Representative to attend and speak at the Alberta Convention in Camrose. Shortly after that I am off with the British Columbia Provincial Director and Representative on a tour of the island chapters and a luncheon with the Lower Mainland chapters and a special party with our chapter in Sechelt.
So much fun when you're a Crown Jewel but the highlight of the year will be when we all gather together in Calgary for our 4th Annual National Convention! Look forward to seeing you all there and to meeting our newest members.
Remember to check out our TWO pages on Facebook. One is an information page and one is "for members only".
If you're not yet a member of the CJCS members website join today! There is SO much information on the site and it's a great way to meet and connect with other members and other chapters across Canada and see what they're up to. Lots of suggestions for events and fun with your chapter too.
If you want to receive notices when this page is updated, enter your email in the section provided in the top right corner of this webpage.
All past CJCS Monthly Newsletters are posted in the Archives section on our members website. You might wish to print them out and save them in a binder for future reference.
Have a wonderful and safe month everyone! There are still some wintry roads out there!
