PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Fall/Winter 2011

Wasn’t WAFA great! Creativity unleashed! Congratulations to all the CFAA members who participated in WAFA – You did such a great job, and we are proud of every one of you. For those of you who missed WAFA-USA there is a DVD available by going online to WAFA –USA. We are looking forward to Kaleidoscope at CFAA Seminar 2012 and expect to see an infusion of creativity as a result of WAFA in the 50+ designs we feature from our members. The great thing about CFAA is there are no rules, just right!!

Speaking of Seminar...the Executive Board and the General Board met in August to finalize the plans for Seminar 2012. What a great Seminar we have lined up for you. The Registration form is enclosed in the Fall issue of Design Dimensions…sign up EARLY. The workshops fill up FAST. In response to our member’s requests we are trying a few new things. The Saturday afternoon program will be a series of presenters offering tips and tricks in a program called “How’d You Do That”. We are continuing the one day registration for Saturday only. Friday night instead of our usual heavy sit down dinner we are trying “Stroll and Dine with the Designs” a heavy hors douevre cocktail party and a chance to visit with friends, and vendors, and to view the Kaleidoscope. The presentation following will be The Greater Detroit Flower Arrangers Guild’s presentation: “H2O”. It should be very exciting! What will not change at Seminar are the originality, enthusiasm and spirit displayed by our members. The chance to renew our friendships and make new friends is treasured by all of us – yea CFAA!

Another change we are adding is a date to your mailing label on your Design Dimensions. This will alert you as to when your membership is going to expire. The date after your name is the date your membership expires and please renew (we do not want to lose you). Our Treasurer Cookie Roland, Membership – Barbara Willey and IT people Ron & Dee Bartcher have been very diligent about getting our membership lists current and on line. Vina MacLeod Rudolph, our webmaster has posted the registration online. Many, many thanks go out to our very professional volunteers!

I am looking forward to seeing ALL of my creative friends at an exciting Seminar 2012. Please remember to register EARLY.
