Women’s Self Defense Training was very popular with participants so the RWC will be offering it again in 2016.
Marianne Hladun said there are funds available for “Special Events” around ending Domestic Violence. The RWC could plan a one day event with Women’s Self Defense and include a half-day session on Domestic Violence. The RWC must put forth a proposal to PSAC for this event including the breakdown of costs, approximately how many women will be attending. Send an email to Marianne.
Marianne thanked the RWC for their complete reporting package that was submitted.
There was a brief discussion on the upcoming Prairie Regional Women’s Conference and the deadline to submit Resolutions. The conference will be an opportunity for RWC’s to network with other committees.
Michelle will email RWC committee members with possible dates for the next RW meeting.
