September
is here again. Clubs will be starting their meetings
and other activities for the next several months.
Our convention is over for another year. The attendance
was not as high as last year; however, a lot was accomplished.
I have heard from some members that had atended conventions
in the early years of USCO. They were not impressed
with accomodations, food, etc. These people should
attend conventions now and see the improvement.
I would like to thank the delegates for their support
at the convention. Also a special thanks is due to
Marie for her leadership and guidance during the past
three years. A warm welcome goes out to the new members
of the executive as well as to those returning for
another term.
As of August 1 of this year, the USCO has a working
relationship with the Ontario Incontinence Supplies
company. For delegates attending the convention, their
display will have supplied information concerning
their products. Elsewhere in this issue there is advertising
and information including a toll free number and email
address for them. As they provide delivery in plain
wrap, it removes the embarrassment of going to the
store to purchase this type of product. Dont
forget there is a $3.00 discount if you are a member
of USCO.
During the past year I have attended presentations
being made to government committee members concerning
the investment securities industries in Canada. Hopefully,
for the benefi t of seniors, these will have been
fruitful and produce more protection for investors.
Be sure to let us know about the activities in your
clubs and do send us some pictures of your celebrations.
Ill not promise that they will all be published,
but we will try for some at least.
