IWAT News and Views Issue 8 March 1, 2016

大家好! Hello Everyone! The first application for our non-profit status will be sent out soon. Then, we will be having meetings to officially pass by-laws and elect board members. As soon as we finish collecting the signatures of our "founding members," we will be ready to submit!

Our organization will be changing a bit, but it will still feel the same. Instead of "president" and other specific job offices, we will have a board of directors, a chairman, and activity coordinators. Would you like to be a part of the board or nominate someone? Serving on the IWAT board has helped me find a sense of purpose, helped me discover new interests, allowed me to practice leadership skills, and empowered me to set and reach goals.

Benefits of Non-profit Status?

1. A separate official bank account (currently, the treasurer must have a bank account) 2. Ability to give tax receipts for donations!!!! 3. Officially be able to sell our book!!! Don't forget to click on the links of the Calendar of Events to RSVP. I am also in search of hostesses for coffee mornings and books clubs! Let me know if you are able to have us at your home or party room! See you next week!

Much love to you and yours, Rebecca iwatpresident@gmail.com Spring Fling is April 30th! WE WILL BE DANCING AGAIN!!!!
