March meeting, Wed 16th : AGM and a talk on the history of the WI

Our March meeting is going to be our first attempt at a fully hybrid meeting! The first half will be led in-person, and the second half will come from Canada if the technology works! 

For the first part of the meeting we will be joined in person by representatives of Middlesex Federation to oversee our first AGM since Covid. We'll be reviewing the previous two years in the life of LWEWI, then electing a new committee and President. All members can vote in the AGM, and can also put themselves forward to join the committee.

We'll then have a guest speaker, Lisa Greenly:

Adelaide Hoodless and her pathway to the WI

We will explore the life of Adelaide Hoodless and the events that led to the formation of the WI as well as how the WI made its way to the UK.

Lisa Greenly is the president of the Arbutus WI in Victoria, British Columbia, a member of the Hampshire Cloud Virtual WI, and an amateur storyteller.
