Maybe you are one of about 1000 Ladies coming to Bruges? To meet all the friends that you have met before on national and international trips and all the friends you haven’t met yet, or are you just going for the chocolate?

Ladies Circle Finland ( LCSF) celebrated their 50th aniversay in Vasa Finland 21-23rd may 2010.
It was a wonderful weekend where 20 past national president, past international presidents and past international boardmembers from Finland was present.
One ting is for sure, once a circler always a circler and these wonderful ladies really proved that!
On 5th of June 2010 LC Lithuania had AGM where LC IV Kaunas was chartered. For that we have had our God Mothers from Denmark and circles from neighbourhoods Latvia visited us. LC Lithuania was very pleased to meet LC International President Kjersti.
A raining day me and my husband sat us in our car for the 400 kilometres drive to Holstebro. When we get there in the afternoon we have something to eat and then we go to the registration. We were warmed welcomed. After checking in to the house that we were living with three other Swedish people, change clothes and we where ready for the Home parties. BUT…….
Vikings at AGM!
During my LC-years, I have been to 6 Swedish AGM, 4 Danish and 2 Norwegian AGM´s, but not until now I have been able to go to Finland.
We arrived at Vaasa during Thursday evening and just checked in to the hotel and then off to the tour “The Dark Side of Vaasa” where we meet ghosts and went to places that had hosted murderers. Of course, all in the spirit of Salmiakki.
"Happy to be Ladies" was my motto when I was National President of Ladies' Circle Italy. And this happiness I've always enjoyed during my circling life, and it reigned over me on the occasion of the AGM in Cesena.
First of all, I was happy to embrace again the Italian Ladies. I got the good feeling of one that was surrounded with deep affection at home after a long absence.
Internet is a nice thing, but sometimes things get lost in cyberspace. Unfortunate it happend to this report.
But here you can read about the travel to India from Luxembourg.
Hereby we want to invite you all at our AGM on the 29th of May 2010 in Woerden, the Netherlands.
Yours in Friendship,
the board of Ladies'Circle the Netherlands,
Karin, Désirée, Carla, Helmie & Thea

Originally, the Board Meeting was scheduled for Sweden – but things doesn’t always go as planned. After a great deal of
talking an e-mail was sent to the Ladies of LC Hong Kong and lucky for us they were thrilled to accept an official visit
from the LCI President and at the same time host the LCI Board Meeting 3. The trip was planned - partly as a private trip
and partly as an official trip.
Botswana for the weekend – mad or just a circler!!
Listening to the Presentation about Botswana at the International contact meeting in India gave me
goosebumps!! Finding out we were the Godmother to Botswana made me even more determined
to go and support them whilst organising a special event for LCI.
Do you want to read more about Naomi's trip to Botswana read the link.
Johannesburg, imagine to be back after more that three years. I’m so thrilled!
I don’t know what this part of the world do to us, but many of you Northerners that visited MTM in Botswana might have realized the specificness as well.
On Monday the 8th March 2010 we inducted 9 new circlers in Ladies Circle Botswana. These beautiful and talented ladies are to make up most of Circle
3 once it is officially chartered sometime during the year. This indicates we are well on our way to applying for full membership soon. Yahoo Yippee !!!!
Sumaya
Finally time to go to the Board meeting! We had sent lots of emails since the LCI Conference in august and I was really looking forward to a meeting in real life. It is a project itself to coordinate the arrivals of 6 ladies even though we are not that spread in geography this year.
Its time to take a trip down memory lane
Time to honor our legacy
Time to pay a tribute to
“Friendship and Service”
Madagaskar!
The worlds fourth largest island, situated east of the southern Africa in the Indian sea. An estimated population of 20.6 million people in 2009.
Ladies Circle Madagaskar; founded in 2000 with LC France as theire god mother country. Members 23 hard working ladies! Circles 2 strong circles and most likely one more during this year!
Madagaskar was due to have a official visit this year and it was a great pleasure to go there directly after the MTM in Botswana. I have to admit that I knew little about the circlers there and not much more about this wonderful country!
Hope you will enjoy this resume from my visit there!
Febuary 11th is the international LCI DAY!
Make this unique day a special one!
Wear your LC pin, and show that you are
proud to be a circler
And remember you are unique, and
You’ll never walk alone!
Yours in friendship
Kjersti Irgens, LCI president 2009/2010

Five circlers from GB&I each received a Travel Grant to attend LCI Bangalore.
It was agreed by our National President (Lynda Wieland) that we provide a joint
report to the LCI Board, with each circler reporting on a certain aspect of the LCI
Conference. By doing this we hope to give you a more in depth look at each part of
conference.
December, what a special time....
Its the time to go down memory lane, to see what the year has given us. As we circlers are unique, because we all look at the world with completely different eyes, and listen to the words spoken with our ears, we all get someting different and special out of our circle lives!
I would like to share some memories with you from 2009 in this short article.
Wishing you and your familiy, friends a Happy new year!
Hong Kong Ladies' Circle's annual Royal Doulton Sale took place this year on Saturday 26th September 2009. It was a huge success, with over HK$60,000 being raised and donated to local charities

LC-40 Hammerfest is back in business in Norway - Welcome!
The weekend around the 12th of September I had the privilege to travel to the very north of Norway to join the re-charter of LC 40 Hammerfest. Norway is a very small country when it comes to population, but when it comes to distance it is very long. My journey took 8 hours.(Including some waiting at different airports…)
The weekend 18-20th september 2009 Ladies Circle 64 Bremen Nort was chartered. They had made a great, fun, and cool program for all guest attending. Throughout the weekend more than 100 guests, circlers and tablers celebrated this new circle!
LC 64 Bremen North have got alot of young enthusiastic circlers, and LC Germany's youngest member, Birthe Gromotka from the new circle, age 23 was my hostess this weekend! It is inspiring to see that they manage to get ladies of that age interested in Ladies Circle.
Dear Ladies!
Today we turn to you with a project idea, that we, the Ladies from LC 56 Lüneburg (Germany), want to realize and for which we depend on your help.
We want to make an LC cookery book, which will be available in two languages: German and English. We want it to include recipes from different LC countries. The profit shall be shared in half between our German National Project and the International Service Project.
As a special memento to the golden jubilee this LCI bracelet was created by the LCI Board. The symbols represent
The bracelet is gold coated and manufactured in India. We ordered a set of 100 bracelets which will be delivered during the Conference in India. According the motto \"first come - first serve\" you can put your order with Kirsten, LCI Treasurer, who will take care that the amount will be debited on the capitation fee of your country. So you don\'t have to bring any extra money to India! And of course the proceeds go to the ISP!
Cowboys and indians, cowgirls and more. LC and RT Swedens AGM had the theme wild wild west, and belive me, It was wild!
This AGM had everything!
The first weekend in May Ladies Circle 121 Akka was chartered. I managed to take som time off work and drove from Bergen in Norway, to Oslo and from there all south in Sweden. I knew Camilla Näsmann, past president from Sweden from earlier and was homehosted by her and her husband Stefan. I drove like a mad woman in order to get there on time, and it was just a little bit further than I expected. Getting there we headed straight for the charterparty, and it was held in two private homes of two of the new circlers, Stina and Katarina!
