INSPIRING WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER

The NFWI Board of Trustees Invites the President or Representative of your WI to join them from 11am – 4pm for a day of INFORMATION and INSPIRATION at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern on 14 March.
Lunch will be provided.
RSVP by 31 January 2014 to your Federation Office (with any dietary requirements).

My apologies to you; we have invitations provided by NFWI which will be sent out with the January mailing, but you will not be able to meet the RSVP date if we wait until then.  Could you please ensure that your President sees this in time to meet that deadline?  NFWI have asked that all WI's fund the travel expenses for the president and/or their representative to attend.
Note – We do have at least 1 invitation per WI but there are some extra, if more than one wish to attend please notify us and we will have a ballot if necessary.

Kathryn Bandfield, Chairman
