Members of the Crown Jewels of Canada Society are packing up their red, white and purple and putting on their cowgirl hats and boots and heading to Alberta for the 7th Annual National Convention!
Elaine and her committee have more than a few surprises in store for our members.
In addition, all across the country, chapters and provincial members are gathering at smaller events to celebrate our 7th Anniversary.
Lynda and Sue are heading off to Osoyoos for a large picnic gathering of Jewels from southern British Columbia while at the end of the month Jewels from all over B.C. are heading to Vernon for the Big Anniversary Celebration.
Jewels in Manitoba are also heading off to a picnic to celebrate and have included Northern Ontario Jewels in their celebration.
Our Jewels are always up to something and no matter what they're doing, they're having FUN!

MAY UPDATES
First, our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the fires in Fort MacMurray and surrounding area. We thank the first responders, police, firemen, and all the volunteers who have dropped everything to help and to those who have now volunteered to help with clean-up.
We're a little late but we hope you have all enjoyed Mother's Day and are finally enjoying some beautiful spring weather. I noticed that Banff and area received SNOW - who forgot to tell Mother Nature to play nice? It's mid-spring!
Big hugs and get well wishes to our former Director Mary who is in hospital recovering from surgery.
Melanie will be sending Newsletter #81 out over the weekend. Watch your inbox and if it doesn't appear, you can always download it from the "Jewel Box."
Join us on one of our Facebook pages and connect with other members.
To all who are heading off to the Alberta Provincial Convention this weekend - HAVE A BLAST!
V.P. Sue and I are looking forward to our tour across the country later this month and seeing so many friends and meeting many more of our precious Jewels. Thank you to all the organizers who have planned many activities for us to attend.
It's always a good feeling to see how many events are selling out way in advance. Our Jewels love to have a good time together!

NEWSLETTER NUMBER 79 HAS BEEN SENT!
Hard to believe but next month will mark 80 newsletters sent - representing 80 months - since August 2009 when we sent our very first newsletter to our members.
We've come a long way.
Thank you isn't enough to all of our Jewels who have supported us from day one and believe in our dream but - THANK YOU!!

THIS MUST BE A NEW RECORD!
Registration for our National Convention, to be held in Calgary in September 2016, has been open less than one month and already there are less than 50 tickets left.
Obviously out ladies love the National and what better location than Calgary, gateway to the Rocky Mountains.
All membership renewals are up to date and have been processes and receipts have been sent to each member. If you haven't received yours, check to ensure your Queen has sent it and if so, please contact our office as it's apparently been lost in the mail. We'd be happy to forward a new registration form and we need to know that you plan to renew, otherwise, your name will be removed from our data base and you will receive no further news or newsletters from us. It's wonderful that you have all renewed on time and we thank you for your promptness! Our Jewels are awesome!
If you are one of our "Cruisers" please take the poll that is in the March newsletter so we will have an idea of where you all want to go next year!

CARIBBEAN CRUISE 2016
Our Jewels have been busy.
Many of us have just returned from a fabulous Caribbean cruise.
We've also had lots of trips: Las Vegas, the National Convention in Halifax, Nova Scotia, along with more local provincial conventions, parties across the country as well as regular chapter activities.
Registration for the National 2016 is now open as is registration for the Provincial Convention in Alberta in the spring of 2016.
There are several large events coming up in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario that are open to all Jewels also. Watch your email inbox for details - we love to stay busy!
We have four Facebook groups. One for members only, one for Queens and Vice Queens, an information page and we recently had a "virtual Valentine's page" where our Jewels could share Valentine greetings with others across the country.
Of course we also have our private, members only, website: "The Jewel Box" where our Jewels not only go to play and stay in contact with other members but also can join many groups, including support groups, and find a wealth of information.
As you can see by the photos below, we always have FUN!
