 Leadership and involvement of the membership is the key to the survival and growth of any organization, and certainly the CWA is no different.  With the centre being closed since mid-March, many members have realized the value of membership where connecting with people of similar ages and interests adds much to the quality of life.  With an anticipated opening in the fall, important meetings will be held to elect a new Board of Directors and encourage new members to step up and be engaged.  The Entertainment and Fund Raising components are critical to bringing joy and positivity to members and this committee is in need of new members.  The best way to learn about the CWA is to be actively involved.  Your life experiences are invaluable in bringing in new ideas to keep the CWA energized.  The committee lead, Karen Rideout, is a wonderful mentor and is looking forward to having extra hands on deck to make events a success.  Be sure to step up, commit some time and add to the experience of many at the CWA.

 The Artisans of Chestermere, one of the CWA's creative clubs visited the Lakeside Golf Club this past week to hang new works of art from a variety of artists.  The "gallery" hosted at the clubhouse is located at the top of the stairs on the second floor.  Using a variety of art mediums, these artists produce wonderful work.  Under the leadership of Brenda Giunn, the Artisans meet weekly, socially distancing, visiting and working on new creations.  Looking for something to do?  Stop by the Lakeside Golf clubhouse and enjoy the works of some of our creative members.
