ARCAN Committee's September Meeting

It just gets stronger !

A spectacular Fall weekend in September accompanied the first meeting of the ARCAN Committee since the very successful conference event in June at Mount Saint Vincent University.

The committee meeting was held September 12 & 13 in the common room of Peggy Gorman's apartment on Novalea Drive in Halifax.  (We're creative when it comes to meeting spaces!)

The 15 committee members in attendance for this meeting reviewed the June conference, welcomed new members to the committee, said good bye to other members, continued work on the strategic plan, and made arrangements for the next meeting in June 2015.  That was the agenda !

There was a recognition that the committee is making great strides and doing this in an atmosphere of deepening mutuality, recognizing both the differences and similarities between sisters and associates while forging a strong commitment for the work of building an Atlantic network of sisters and associates.

The committee said good bye to Frances Johnston, Liz Murnaghan, Peg Madigan, and Phyllis Gallant.

And the committee welcomed Marjorie Allison-Ross, and Aline Reid.  Eileen Clow from PEI will join the committee in June 2015.
