June 2008
President’s Message
This is my final message as President of this great
organization. My time on the Board has been
exciting, challenging and an opportunity to grow.
Congratulations to Kim Appleton your Member
of the Year for 2007 / 2008. Kim has updated
your website to automate many features and
along with Deb Csumrik was instrumental in the
revamping of the Constitution.
Congratulations to your new Board Members,
Yvette Peplinskie, Betty Halman-Plumley, Angela
Murdock, Lia Evangelista, and Lisa Hogan. You will
all make a wonderful addition to the Board.
A very BIG Thank You to the Ladies who served
on the Board this year: Patti Clark, Amy Simpson,
Ann Marie Maly, Deborah Paris, Susan Joyce, Sally
Harding, Laura Foster, Kathryn Fanning, Lisa
Smith, Margaret Jackson, and Kim Appleton. This
group of Ladies is dedicated to the Network. They
all worked hard for the membership and made me
look good.
As I mentioned at the last meeting, our program for
next year is confirmed. Please watch the website
for the new listing and the updated membership
application with our new rates.
On a personal note, I will be leaving the community
sometime over the summer to join my husband in
Vancouver. Thank you for allowing me to serve
as your President and be part of the Network and
Board for the last eight years. Getting to know
each and every one of you has been a delight!
See you June 4th.
Happy Networking,
Colleen Hoggarth

Membership Renewal Process
Now that our membership applications are electronic, this year’s renewal
process will be different than in the past. You will be able to renew your
membership much more quickly, however, there is a series of steps that need
to happen in the background that you should be aware of.
1. On June 6, after our last meeting of the year, all members’ accounts will be
reset to “Inactive”. All of your personal information will still be in the database,
however, until you renew you will not be able to access the “Members Area” of
the website.
2. Right after we reset the accounts, you will receive a Renewal Notice from us.
This email will contain a link that will take you to the WBN site and display a
secured renewal page, pre-filled with all your information.

the WBN Member of the Year to recognize a member who has gone above and
beyond the call of duty. This years’ recipient is Kim Appleton, of Emmatt Digital

making it totally user friendly as well as delving in to re-vamp our constitution.

A BIG THANK YOU TO
Sue Hosang of Weekenders. I’m new to Peterborough and the WBN and haven’t
been able to make it out to many meetings. This past meeting, I was finally able
to work out childcare and happily made my way through the rain to the meeting.
When I got to the Holiday Inn, not only was I completely soaked but I discovered
that I had left my wallet at home. Not knowing quite what to do I just wondered
over to the displays and found myself telling my sad story to Sue Hosang.
Without blinking an eye she took out her wallet, gave me ten dollars and told
me to get myself a glass of wine. Thank you Sue and all of you WBNers for your
generosity and welcome.
