Start planning now!''Planning gives us a chance to live our own lives while at the same time knowing that our relative has a life of their own. Start now and review regularly. Good intentions based on wrong information can put people at risk. Some siblings tell us that they are uncomfortable with the responsibilities that the parents are expecting them to undertake.

How do I see the University Women's Club? I see three aspects to membership in this Club. The Social aspect is a major way of connecting with women in a positive atmosphere. The Intellectual aspect comes through our conversations, our programs and our Bridge days. The third aspect is advocacy for the betterment of women and girls. As examples, we demonstrate this in our daily attitudes and in our participation in the Winnipeg Council of Women and attendance at the LEAF breakfast every year. Look around. There are connections to be made and to hang on to. As we sing in the Recreational Singing group, 'Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold.'
