On Saturday September 12 Woodmore Women’s Institute participated in a local Bake & Yard sale as a fundraiser. The Woodmore WI had 3 tables of baking, crafts and yard sale items. They sold out of baking and any items remaining on the yard sale tables were then donated to MCC.
The Woodmore Women’s institute presented a cheque to Ruth Reimer (mother of Katie) as representative of Katie Cares. On September 9 Katie Cares was presented a cheque in the amount of $557.50, the funds are from the sale of Cash Calendars. Shirley Waldner and Karen Grier, both from the Woodmore Women’s Institute fundraising committee, presented the donation to Ruth Reimer.
We are very excited to annouce this week that ACWW Central Office has reopened! We have put in place social distancing procedures and increased cleaning routines, and we are following WHO guidelines on keeping our staff safe. Whilst we are not currently open to visitors, we are back at our desks!
Throughout lockdown our staff members worked from home, doing their best to ensure we kept ACWW moving forward, and dealing with enquiries from members globally. There has inevitably been a minor backlog, and we are working to clear this as quickly as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact Central Office if you have any questions, or need information.
Thank you for continued support, enthusiasm, and kind messages that have been received!
On Thursday August 27 Woodmore WI held an outing to the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach. There were 11 in attendance, 9 Woodmore members, 1 Domain WI member and 1 individual member. The Mennonite Heritage Village organized a 2 hour tour in the morning then a delicious lunch at the Livery Barn Restaurant followed by 3 demonstrations. The demonstrations were milling wheat at their windmill, baking bread in the outdoor clay oven and laundry in a wooden wringer washer. The demonstrations were followed by a visit to their General Store. It was a great day, enjoyed by all in attendance.
The curatorial exhibition tour for "A Woman's Work is Never Done: 125 Years of Serving Their Communities" is now available on the museum's YouTube page!
While you're there, be sure to check out our crafting and baking videos, created as part of our virtual Culture Days programming this year.

We've created this for you. As Women Walk the World approaches, and we look toward raising funds for Pennies for Friendship, it is important that we all understand why advocacy is vital for ensuring the sustained impact of all other initiatives, including projects. The success of our projects is directly dependent on impactful, strategic advocacy, because it is through advocacy that we can change the context in which rural women live and work, ensuring long-term, lasting progress.
