President's Report Women's Division Board of Directors Meeting
And so, we continue the journey that
was begun almost 135 years ago. Those small
groups of committed women, motivated by the
gospel, gave their time, skills and resources to

Treasurer' Report -- Women's Division Board Meeting
In preparation for the 135th Anniversary of
our organization, I have noted that the book of
James must have been a guiding principle for our

around the world and they worked at that with
patience, endurance, persistence and integrity.
They often let their actions speak for them.
