Well we are safely here in Manhattan at the Millenium UN Plaza Hotel across from the UN and the Church Centre. This afternoon we went to the UN and got our passes (thanks to the Soroptimists) . We unpacked some and then we had dinner with the Primate's delegates from around the world. There are 20 of them, one Canadian,one American, several from Africa,South America, The Phillippines, Samoa, Australia and Scotland. For some it is their first time to the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).
Although the actual Commission does not start until Monday, tomorrow the Ecumenical Women are hosting an orientation day. We, the steering committee must be there at 8 am and registration begins at 8:45.
There are about 150 people registered. The highlight of the day will be a presentation by the Executive Director of UN Women. There is a panel and workshops etc with Chapel in the morning and at the at 4 pm. We end with a reception with wine and snacks around 6. It should be a fun packed day.
The best news is the all my luggage arrived safely, unlike last year AND my daughter is curling in the Ontario Intermediate competition and her team is 4 wins and 1 loss. Great curling ladies.
Well I need to do some more preparation for tomorrow so I need to sign off now.
Blessings Judy
