January 2021

Gloucester Rd WI January 2021 

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a safe and peaceful festive season and welcome to 2021!
We kick off the New Year with a winter wellness session, a shout out for nominations for our 2021 charity and a choice about the national WI resolutions for 2021.

 

Aromatherapy for Winter Wellbeing.

Join us for January's meeting, for a session on Aromatherapy for Winter Wellbeing with Anne Polet of AromaWizards.
You might remember Anne, who was a member of Glos Rd WI for a few years whilst living in Bristol.
Anne will outline the safe use of oils and recommend anitviral, warming and cheering oils to help us through the winter season, both physically and emotionally.
Bring a notebook and your favourite essential oil if you have one.

Our charity for 2021.

We need to choose a new charity for 2021, so please let us know your nominations for charities to support.
Just a reminder that the charities need to help women and to be local, not national.
If you could bring your suggestions to the meeting, or post your ideas and suggestions on Facebook, we will have a poll to choose our new charity.
 

NFWI National Resolution Shortlist 2021.

As announced in November/December's WI Life, every member has a say in the choice of the national campaigns. The shortlist of 5 campaigns for 2021 is on the WI website and all members are invited to evaluate the list and submit their individual selections to their federations by 18th January.

We will shortly be sending a poll to members to allow you to vote for your favourite resolution.

NFWI National Survey - Count Me In!

The WI have launched the Count Me In! survey to help build a clear picture of the WI membership today.
The information will remain completely anonymous, but it will greatly assist the NFWI with membership projects, policies and procedures and ensure that everything we do is developed with you in mind.
