Crown Jewels of Canada Society: News Release
(firmenpresse) - KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/12 -- Editors' Note: There is a photo associated with this release.
There's a new group capturing the hearts and minds of Canadian women, and they call themselves Jewels - why? Jewels are precious. These elegant ladies are members of the Crown Jewels of Canada Society, a nationally non-profit for "women dedicated to fun, friendship and support" that unites women across Canada.
They might be seen at the roadside cheering on Sylvia in B.C. while she carried the Olympic Torch; supporting their friends with medical or family issues. Jewels gather yearly for a national convention hosted each year by a different Province and throughout the year at Provincial gatherings, spa weekends, Jalopy Jaunt Car Rallies, Fashion Shows, elegant teas, pool parties, Murder Mystery parties, lunches in local restaurants and gatherings in member's homes. It doesn't matter what they are up to, the one thing you know is that wherever they gather, you'll hear much laughter and see smiles on their faces. They've left their "reality" at home for a few hours. It's time for a "time out."
The Society was incorporated as a federal non-profit organization October 1st 2009 and has chapters all across the country. Run by a Board of Directors (all Founding Members), all members have the right to their say and vote at the Annual General Meeting.
One way women can connect is on the member's website where each province and every member has their own web page. There are support groups, craft groups, recipe groups, event groups, a place to share stories and jokes, they can write a blog, post photos and videos of their activities. We're on Facebook and have an online Blog.
One piece of bling treasured by a select few members is the Founders Club pin. The first 1200 members proudly wear their rhinestone pin in the shape of a maple leaf. There's a story behind the design of this pin. The society's logo and membership pin was designed by member Jacquie Siedel.
The Crown Jewels rules are simple: 1. wear something on your head, 2. wear our colours (red, white and purple), 3. pay your dues ($5/year) and 4. have fun!
Chapter leaders are referred to as the Queen. Many areas have a Royal Court which brings together all the local Queens and Vice Queens for discussion, friendship and planning events. Membership is open to any adult woman and so far it's been by word of mouth; one friend inviting another to join.
"Every chapter has its own personality." One group was founded from ladies belonging to a local Newcomers Club, another group in Alberta is formed of I.C.U. nurses who work together, one is a quilting group and another was formed with members of a local swim club.
Millard thought her life fulfilled by taking care of her husband and children. Taking time to play seemed selfish. As an empty nester she believes there's nothing selfish about taking time to have fun and spending time with friends. We like to encourage them," says Millard, to take "me time." Some members are doing just that on our annual cruises. We've done the Mexican Riviera, the Coastal Wine Tour and in 2013 we're off to the Western Caribbean. National Convention locations have been British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan with plans already well under way for Alberta in 2013. Conventions are hosted by a different province each year.
"Every friend is a Jewel and every Jewel is precious" says Millard.
