March Newsletter 
Dear CFWC Ladies,
Here are the minutes from the March meeting and some announcements.
SEE THE CANADIAN ROCKIES BY RAIL WITH GFWC! Reward yourself for a productive year and resolve to spend time with your GFWC friends as we experience the Canadian Rockies by rail, July 13-22, 2009. Extraordinary vistas await aboard the Rocky Mountaineer® Train, where you will view coastal forests, roaring river canyons, lofty mountain peaks, the glaciers of the Albreda Icefields, and Mt. Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Enjoy an overnight at the magnificent Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.
If the Canadian Rockies aren't your thing, you can still take advantage of great discounts courtesy of GFWC's travel partner, Collette Vacations. Through the exclusive World Connect Program, you, your friends, family, and fellow clubwomen can travel on any tour offered by Collette Vacations(800-340-5158) , and not only will you receive a five percent discount on your tours—but your club and your state federation will share in this benefit when they EACH receive between $10-$50 (per person) when you select a tour through Collette Vacations as a member of GFWC. No matter where you're going, go with Collette and GFWC! Please contact Karan Brower for more information.
Step for the Roses is the perfect program to use as part of GFWC's Weight Loss Challenge! Get your club together and get out into your community. GFWC will provide ongoing education and inspiration, and the resources at http://www.stepfortheroses.com/ will keep you on track.
You’ll need a step counter to track your steps. GFWC members can order a Step for the Roses participant packet ($12) that includes a step counter, log card, and booklet to help you track daily steps and work toward walking goals. Contact Karan Brower to join the Step for Roses program.
