In the spirit of Canada hosting the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, we are pleased to announce a new ROSE Program Challenge – ROSE Challenge 2010. A friendly competition to encourage as many WI Branches as possible to host ROSE Sessions – and submit their profile forms to the FWIO Provincial Office.
You don’t have to be a star athlete to participate – many Branches are already hosting ROSE Sessions! They are “short courses”, workshops, demonstrations, guest speakers – in other words ROSE Sessions are anything educational that involves the public. Several Branches host ROSE Sessions each month as their regular WI Meeting.
For your chance to bring home the gold, simply host your ROSE Session, and submit the NEW ROSE Profile form to the FWIO Provincial Office. (The form has been emailed out to Branches on the email list, can be downloaded from the FWIO website, or photocopied by your Board Director or AVD. The form is also available at the Provincial Office.) Your Branch could appear on the prestigious WI Podium of Champions and win some great prizes for everyone in your Branch.
Contest Details
