Ladies Circle International Friendship & Service You’ll never walk alone

Dear Circlers, dear friends! |
|
||
|
And I think its gonna be a long long time.” A short line from Elton John`s song ” the rocket man”. Some of us thought this LC year would last longer than it has, I am one of them. The last month president jewels have been passed on from one fab lady to another. New Ideas have been presented and close to 200 ladies worldwide are ready to an extra job for their circle country. Work is easier for these ladies when they receive the support from all circlers. Because Ladies Circle starts with YOU! The first “leg” of the snowflake is every circler. Followed by a “leg” for each circle, each area, each country, each region of the world, and finally the whole world. This makes 6 strong legs, and the shape of the snow crystal unique! Just like you and me! What did you do for circle this year? Did you tell someone about what we do? Did you bring in a new lady to circle? I know that loads of you did exactly this, as our membership numbers that have been going quickly down, are now showing great signs of turning. We know that there is a drop in total membership numbers, but the picture is clear; ladies want LC and I am sure next year we will see good numbers over 12000 again! Make your circle strong and proud! Be proud of the work you do in circle, and tell people about it; I promise, you will get new friends in circle that way. As my year as president is coming to an end in just approx 2 months I am humble and proud of being a Circler! All the hours my sisters in circle give to make a difference for other people touches me! On behalf of the people benefiting from your work I would like to say THANK YOU! These last months have from my side been busy. Loads of work in front of the computer, preparations for Board meeting 4, and now we will start the final preparations for Lady Chocolate in Bruges. Close to 1000 registrations now! Are you coming? As this will be our last newsletter for the year I would like to thank you all for your support and goodwill this year! I am so blessed to have met so many of you, to have been there for the charter of so many new ladies, and being president this year have thought me more about Ladies Circle and myself. Yes we are unique! Together we are strong, and I am convinces that in order to be strong we need to keep bringing new members into circle. Can you find a new candidate for your circle this summer? Have a great summer holiday until we meet in Bruges, and to those of you who can’t be there; see you some other time! And remember; you’ll never walk alone! (maybe there is a Circler at the place you are going for your vacation, contact the Vice president in the country you are visiting and check out!) All my love to my dear friends Kjersti Irgens, President Ladies Circle International. |

LC Finland 50 years! |

In May this year LCSF celebrated their 50th anniversary in Vasa
It was a wonderful AGM where 20 past national presidents attended. Two past international presidents, Irmeli and Margareta attended as well. Iremli was LCI president when I was 1 year old,(68-69) and Margareta LCI president when I was 6 (73-74) Two fantastic ladies , still with a big heart for circle. It was a great weekend with fun, laughter all we need for a great time. On the Friday the theme was Viking party and it was so fun to see all Circlers and tablers dressed up. Saturday was the day of the AGM and I don’t know how many, but would guess approx 250 ladies attended that AGM. Two candidates for the VP position and it is fun to see how much you actually can tell about a lady, just reading her body language! Two very enthusiastic and serious ladies! After AGM there was a wonderful banner lunch at the top of a hotel, and the sun was really shining on the golden ladies from Finland!
Saturdays Gala dinner was fab, and the greatest moment when all ladies attending stood in the front of the big hall singing a song about “ strong women” ( Iguess, have no clue..) but it sounded just right! Thanks for a wonderful weekend in Vasa ladies! It was great fun!.

Board Meeting 4 was held in Skövde, Sweden – the hometown of Malin our Vice President. We were all home hosted by circlers and the meetings were held at Factum, an advertisement company owned by a Tangent. Big thank you to all the members of LC106 for all you have done for us and for making us feel so welcome.
First evening we had a nice BBQ at one of the circler, living in an apartment complex, all neighbors passing looked very envious of our nice food. Friday we vent to a local event, very popular in all Sweden – sing along.
And finally on Saturday when al the discussions were through we went out to a lake side cottage and pre celebrated the famous Swedish Midsummer eve, and of course we followed the grand Crown princess wedding in Stockholm on the TV.

briliant example on how to work side by side for service! ( and then also
friendship) I know they are not the only som please send in good exampples on
how to work side by side Ladies!
