This past weekend I sent a personal email to every Jewel that we have an email address for. I included a link for members to join the "JEWEL BOX" - our member's only private website. It also reminded you about our monthly newsletters, sent on the 15th of each month. Copies of all newsletters back to August 2009 are also posted in the Archives in the JEWEL BOX (Main tab - red box in upper left corner) and I commented on the Regina National Convention last week which was a huge success and oh so much fun! If you missed it, please don't miss out on the 2013 National Convention in Calgary!

We have had approx. 230 emails returned with a message that the mailbox was over quota, or email was rejected (this could be by you having blocked us or your internet provider blocking email from our internet provider or your spam not having us on your safe senders list. There are other reasons too... such as we just don't have your correct email address in our data base.

We, our office, and your Provincial Reps are making every effort to contact everyone to ensure we have your correct email address in our file.

Beginning with the 2013 membership renewals we will be doing it differently to avoid future problems such as this. We will send the confirmation of 2013 membership to EVERY member in a chapter, not just to the QUEEN. This way we will know instantly of any email errors and catch it right away so you don't miss our on our monthly newsletters.

We continue to learn ways to improve our Society and your membership. You are our best Ambassadors and we appreciate your spreading the word about is. 

If you saw an article in your local paper about the 2012 National Convention, please send a copy to our office for our archives. Many thanks!

IMPORTANT MAILING JUST WENT TO ALL MEMBERS

CRUISE
An important email has just gone out to all members. The cruise price has dropped for today only. Also included is information about the hotel.
Please take a moment to read it.

Princess has announced a big sale and the price for our 2013 has dropped. If you're already booked, relax, your price will be adjusted and a new invoice will be sent to you in time.

We would like to suggest that you contact our travel agent prior to October 1st to change your hotel if you're staying in Houston, to the hotel we are staying at in Galveston. Time is running out on this as it's Mardi Gras in Galveston that week and hotel rooms are hard to obtain and our special rate expires October 1st.

CONVENTION 2012
Was a huge success. The Regina Jewels under the leadership of "Just Me" - Mary H. outdid themselves.

From arrival at the airport where they had a booth set up to welcome you and drivers to escort you to the hotel, to the decorations, the meals, and the entertainment was fantastic!

Thursday night we attended the opening of the new "ABBA" show and learned for most of us for the first time, the history of how "ABBA" came to be. Lots of fun, great music, re-uniting with old friends and meeting new ones!

"THE QUEEN" came for a visit and certainly had lots of news to share!

Saturday the star of the evening was just voted "Canada's top Country Solo artist", Brad Johner.
Whether you were in your 20's or 90's, our Jewels were up dancing the night away!

I tell you, there are no words to describe the sight of hundreds of Jewels smiling, laughing, dancing and having fun all weekend long!


CONVENTION 2013Will be hosted by Elaine H and her Alberta Jewels, in Calgary. Charter that bus now, start saving your pennies and spread the word! It's time for another party!

CATS OUT OF THE BAG....CONVENTION 2015Will be in Halifax, Nova Scotia!
