PRESIDENT'S CORNER FOR WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

Dear Friends,

Happy March and happy Women's History Month!

As spring is undoubtedly making its way throughout the country (though occasionally being interrupted by snow and cold temperatures here and there), we in WFWP USA feel that spring has fully arrived on many levels.

There was a "new spirit" felt at this year's WFWP International parallel events at the CSW59 convocation (the 59th annual session of the UN's Commission on the Status of Women) in New York, of which WFWP USA was one of the co-sponsors. A young and fresh spirit was felt through the presence of the excellent young women panelists and the participation of local high school students. The latter were invited by WFWP, were exposed to this setting for the first time, and learned a lot.

Our dynamic young international president, Professor Yeon Ah Moon, who spent the entire week attending UN-related sessions and activities, inspired the women at the WFWP Luncheon with her welcoming remarks. As she quoted our founder's original vision for WFWP at length, we could see and feel that this very vision is now beginning to manifest right in front of our eyes and around us! It gave us a feeling of great hope and joy indeed! "What a Blessing" it is to be a Woman, as our Washington DC chairwoman expressed in her poem, especially to be a woman at this time.

In this issue of the Logic of Love News--as well as in the April issue--we will feature articles, reflections and speeches pertaining to the
WFWP International parallel events at CSW 59, and we hope you enjoy them!

During the month of April, WFWP USA is having a membership drive, and we invite you to Spring into Action by inviting another young or "experienced" woman, or even your husband, brother, or son, to join WFWP as a paying member.

Spring also reminds us to "Spring into Action," which includes doing our spring cleaning, not only of our homes and offices but of our body and spirit; doing our shaping up with physical exercise; and catching up on education, reading, training ourselves, stretching our minds, and dreaming big. All of these will make for us a strong recharge and a springing into action! Let's celebrate Spring; and I celebrate YOU!

So let us Spring Forward together!

Warmly,
Angelika
