There will be more information about this in the next issue of the WBW (Washington Business Woman).

this local forward. If you would like to be a member of the 2007-2008 team let me know. Positions available: President, Vice

District Two Meeting
District 2
Director’s Message
District 2 BPW began our year with a planning meeting in August. Our theme for the year is "Let’s Get
Cooking", both literally and figuratively. Our Fall Conference, "Spice Up Your Life – Beyond Salt and Pepper", was
September 30, 2006. We featured Carol Dearth, Master Chef and Co-Owner of RainCity Cooking School. She gave us a hands-on
presentation about spices and fresh herbs, when and what to use and how to store them. I’m sure we all learned a great
deal from her presentation. Our fundraisers included an accessories silent auction and a dessert live auction.
Our Spring Conference, will feature our YC presentation and IDP presentation as well as a unique installation
of 2007-2008 Officers. The nominating chair, Marjory Scott, has put together a slate of officers as follows: Bobbie Healy,
District Director, Dolores Gohndrone, Assistant District Director, Nancy Sorensen, Secretary and Sue Suwiwattanakul, Treasurer.
Marjory is still seeking a Nominations Chair, so please contact her if you are willing to take on this task.
We will also have a live dessert auction at Spring Conference and request that each local bring 4 desserts
to be auctioned off.
And last but most importantly, I want to thank you all for your support for me as District Director. I was
promised that when I took on this position, I would have all of your support . . . and you have not let me down in your commitment
to District 2. Together we have made this a wonderful year for our district. We were the first to adopt a standing rule which
allows us to take a vote district-wide by email. Next year, I foresee that other issues for the district will be accomplished,
with your help and cooperation.
Spring is a wonderful time of rebirth and starting anew. Let’s enable our new leadership team to have
a wonderful year ahead with our continued support for them and all of District 2 BPW.
Thanks once again for a great year! Sue Suwiwattanakul, Dis 2 Director
