I would like to encourage all units to make a donation this year. No donation is too small. Also, any individuals that would like to make a donation in the name of a friend or loved one that they have lost, please do so, as these contributions are vital to the life of the Scholarship fund. Please help us support the futures of our young cattlemen and women thru this important program. Your donations can be sent to the CCW Memorial Scholarship Chairman, Nancy Hawkins at P.O. Box 70, Fiddletown, CA 95629. Surprise, surprise! The note read: “A reception will be held on Friday evening that all CattleWomen are invited to attend.

CCW 7 President’s Memo Building on Strength The California CattleWomen is an organization built on the strength, foresight, and dedication of past and present CattleWomen members. Thanks to the vision of ranch women in the 1950’s we have a state organization that is dedicated to beef promotion, education, and youth development. Building on that strong foundation, and drawing on the collective strength of our local units, California CattleWomen is able to accomplish a great deal. “Building on Strength,” will be the motto for CCW for the next two years. This organization has afforded me the opportunity to meet some very fine women who care deeply about the future of ranching and our children. They have dedicated a tremendous amount of volunteer hours to promote and educate the public about the cattle ranching community and about the nutritious aspects of beef. Recently I sat down to compile a comprehensive list of what CattleWomen in our state have accomplished since May 1, 2014. This list filled nineteen pages and doesn’t even include our winter and spring activities!!! We have until April 30th to complete this list and submit it as part of a contest that ANCW is sponsoring among the state affiliates. The WIGGY contest offers a Powder River calf chute to the winning state. Part of the contest is to increase state and ANCW membership by 1%. With the help of local units we will meet our goals. Thank you for submitting your activity reports and your end of the year Roundup Reports. Our list of accomplishments was compiled with the help of these sources of information. We have a great team of ladies for the two years ahead of us. The list of officers, directors, and chairwomen can be found on our website, cattlewomen.org. Please visit the site often and “LIKE US” on Facebook. We will be sharing lots of current happenings in the CattleWomen World on both of these internet sites. DID YOU KNOW? When CCW began in 1951, Helen Carver of Kern County was the first CCW president, and there were 58 founding members. In 2014 we were up to 1,943 members. If every unit has a net gain of two by Sheila Bowen Dates to Remember: February 2 – 6 - NCBA/ANCW National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. Several CCW ladies will step into leadership roles at this convention. February 10 -12 - CCW will have a booth at World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA. We will hand out literature and play the beef trivia game. We have some great ladies signed up to help. March 13 – 15 - Please come to our Spring Meeting at the Harris Ranch Inn. 24505 West Dorris Avenue, Coalings, CA 93210. Right off of Interstate 5. We will meet with the California Women for Ag on the 14th. It promises to be a great get together. June 11 -12, 2015 - CCA/CCW Mid Year Meeting Double Tree, 2001 Point W.
