February is WI month, a time to celebrate Women’s Institutes, our past, present and future.  Even though it is a difficult time for many members to meet face to face, we can still promote and share what the Wi means to us and our communities.

What can we do to celebrate WI month?

• Have a virtual tea party with other members. Bring your tea, a slice of your favourite cake and visit.

• Put up some posters in your community reminding others that yes the WI’s are still active and well.

• If your Branch does not have a Facebook page consider setting one up. They are easy to manage, and are a great way of keeping in touch with other branches and organizations.

• Participate in the WI Canada’s February 19th virtual event. Check out their website www.fwic.ca to find out more information.

• Put an article in a local paper sharing information about Women’s Institutes.

• Initiate an act of Kindness and show what WI is all about, caring for ourselves, each other and our communities. Bring flowers to those that are isolated or alone, telephone each other, smile at a stranger.
