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. Don’t 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. I’ll not promise that they will all be published, but we will try for some at least.
