Hello Ladies of KLA and Welcome to 2026.
Congratulations to the Executive Members of KLA and thank you Ladies for electing me as President for 2026. Thank you to Bonnie Davies for being the Installation Officer of our 2026 Executive. We appreciate the personalized touch you added to the installation. Also a word of thanks to Eve-Anne Kristjanson PP for the blessing and prayer. In 1996 I became a member of KLA. In 2021 I received my 25 year pin and certificate. When I first joined KLA, I could not attend all the monthly meetings as I was still a working girl. However I did look forward to the Annual Spring dinners, bazaars and fundraisers. Once I retired in 2012, I looked forward to attending the monthly meetings and helping out when called upon. Every once in a while I will pull out and read an article written by the late Ruth Newton. It is titled “A History of the Khartum Ladies Auxiliary”. One of the programmes she wrote about was the Tote Bag programme that began in 1996. Past Presidents Irene Campbell and Cathy Iwanicki were involved in the activity. Thanks to our tote bag lady Pat Allenby and along with her helpers this programme continues on. Like family, we want “our children” to feel somewhat better when they are taking that trip to a Shriners Hospital. We just celebrated KLA’s 100th anniversary! Hopefully with the addition of new members, this legacy can continue on. Let’s all see what we can do! Thank you, President Georgette Holberg Comments are closed.
