MANITOBA & N-W ONTARIO REGIONAL REP

A warm welcome to our newest Regional Representative, Cheryl McKitrick, who will represent Manitoba and N-W Ontario.

As someone recently described her, Cheryl is an an amazing, beautiful, kindhearted, fun, smart and exuberant woman and I will add caring, confident, fun, upbeat to the description of Cheryl. We are honoured that she has taken on this position for the Crown Jewels of Canada Society and thank her. I know that the members in Manitoba are happy to welcome Cheryl as their leader and she will definitely work to bring them back into a warm and happy Circle of Friends.

If you met Cheryl at convention, (she was the Master of Ceremonies) you will know that being near her will be being in an upbeat fun environment. Never a dull moment and she will have lots of hilarious stories to share! No, life is never dull when Cheryl is around!

The 2018 CJCS National Convention will be held in
Regina, SK beginning September 20th, 2018.

This event will be hosted by Marion Patterson the the Regina Rebel Rowsers & friends.
Mark your calendars Jewels, and start saving!

Its time!

Yea! It's time to start packing, fill the car with gas
or download your boarding pass.

Convention is just around the corner.

Your Convention Committee has been working hard and are putting the finishing touches on decorations and plans. They're loading their cars with the gazillion boxes they have to move to the hotel (yes, it is just about a gazillion! We were stunned when the truck pulled up to the hotel in Vancouver and said that the entire load was "ours")

Please stop and say hello to your Board members and Regional Representatives, when you pass us and remind us of who you are and where you're from.
We love to meet our members.

And don't forget to thank the Convention Committee, and thank them more than once too, for all they have done to make the weekend a grand success.

SEE YOU IN A FEW DAYS!

If going to Convention you might want to check out our "CJCS Canada 150" iron-on transfer which is a special design in honour of Canada's 150th birthday.
We have a limited supply available (if delivery is not delayed due to the hurricane!!)

CONVENTION 2017

It's almost here! Convention 2017. Can you feel the excitement mounting as our Jewels all across the country start to put special outfits together, picking out their most precious jewels, digging out those saddle shoes and their formal gown. 

Your Convention Committee has been working hard for months now to ensure we all have a bang-up fabulous, zippity-doo-dah type time. From adventures out to Gimli and sightseeing around the city to chair Yoga and other activities, they are going to make sure you're not bored. Oh yes, and did I mention shopping?

Even if you can't get to convention, but live nearby, you're invited to come and shop! Check the newsletter for details and times.

Beside me is a box full of trinkets and jewels and iron-on transfers and other little surprises. Melanie will be on hand to sell you at least one new treasure! So don't forget to bring extra cash and a credit card!

The tentative schedule is posted on the convention website in case you're still not sure of the theme or what to pack. Many I know are just about packed. The excitement in our Facebook group is mounting. Conventions are always so much fun. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones is bound to be fun for you.

OK, off to pack. See you soon!
