New board for women Today Women Today President Maggie Crane described herself as "delighted" with the Huron County women's organization's new board of directors at a July 21 board meeting. Crane -is serving her first year as the organization's president. A teacher, she is the former program coordinator of Women Today's Women Being Well project. "This past year if you had told me I'd be the president of Women Today, I would have said, 'Not me!' But... here I am," she °said. "It is exciting, exhilarating, and overwhelming, but I wouldn't change it for anything." The new board is composed of 10 women from around the county, including a number of first-time board members. Crane will be assisted in her new role, by Past President Beth Fulton of the Belgrave area. Shelley Hartman, a freelance bookkeeper, will continue her roleas treasurer. Other continuing board members in- clude Jean Schoebl, a nurse who is active in the Midwifery Support Group; Carol Casey, a single mother and past coor- dinator of Women Today's Kids Today pro- ject; and Fran McQuail, who operates a farm with her husband south of Lucknow. New members include Beth Ross, chief librarian with the Huron County Public Library system; Nancy Brown -Brunton, a social worker who is currently caring for her seven-month old son; Brigette Wolf, who runs her own glass works business; and Mary. Sehl, coordinator of the Huron County Community Child Abuse Coor- dinating Committee. The Women Today board expects to be busy with a number of projects including the $45,000 Health Outreach project..,an- nounced earlier this year. The two-year project funded by the Ministry of Health's Health Promotion Branch will offer educa- tional opportunities on health issues begin- ning this fall. It will continue Women To- day's successful facilitator -training pro- gram which encourages women to start self-help groups as a way to promote their own health and that of others. The organization has also received a grant from the Ministry of Community and Social Services to maintain its library and working centre and to continue its support of ongoing self-help groups. Among the groups it supports is People First, a self- help, self -advocacy group organized by and for people with mental handicaps. Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices funding has also been provided for Kids Today, a children's resource centre located at the Women Today office in Clin- ton. The resource centre will offer non- sexist consciousness -raising books and toys for children. Board member Carol Casey, who coor- dinated the project, said the organization is "investigating the setting up of a toy - lending library and drop-in for mothers and their children. "What the Kids Today project becomes will depend on the needs and input of the membership," she added. Board president Crane said, "We hope to open up to (Huron County women) our vi- sion of Women Today and to invite (them) to enter into the flow in a more active and exciting way."
