Club Year 2020-2021
CFUW-Ottawa 110th Anniversary Certificate
Club Year 2019-2020
The Pink Rose is an annual award to one of our Club members, a tradition inaugurated in 2017. This year’s award was to have been presented by the President at our local AGM in May and will now have to be presented at a later date, but the Board of Directors would like to announce the winner here and now, in the Capital Carillon.
The Pink Rose for 2020 goes to Dierdre Abernethy.
This honour goes to those Club members who quietly contribute to our events and activities with no thought of reward or prestige, but with exemplary dedication. Previous recipients of the Pink Rose were Elaine Copland (2017), Lynne Bond (2018) and Mary Broderick (2019). Dierdre, this year’s recipient, has been the Convenor of the popular National Gallery Study and Interest Group for the past four seasons. She is also a stalwart member of UWHAW and of our Literature Group 1 book club. If you come to our General Meetings you will usually see her helping in a quiet and always friendly way at the Used Books table. Like the other Pink Rose recipients, she represents the spirit of CFUW-Ottawa in person.

Title of Project: International Women’s Day 2018 Dessert and Drama
The CFUW Clubs of Ottawa, Nepean and Kanata presented a highly successful afternoon of drama and Victorian tea on March 10. Enthusiastic actors gave us a fresh look at how Canada was formed from the point of view of the women in the lives of the Fathers of Confederation in Joan Conrod’s play Women Vote Indirect. The actors were either members of the clubs or their relatives. The tea was delicious and the drama great fun.
The profits from the event have been divided equally among the three clubs which in turn are giving them to women’s charities of their choice.
The event was a networking opportunity, but it also involved lifelong learning, the advancement of women and fundraising. We were also able to highlight some women in Canadian history.
CFUW New Members Award
We pay tribute to our nine nominees for the CFUW Centennial Notable Woman Award. These nine women illustrate the diverse talents of our membership. Their stories show us how Ottawa-CFUW members contribute to our organization and to the wider world in so many different ways. Working together, all of us make a difference. We thank our nominees for their tireless efforts. Let us be inspired by them! Let us celebrate them! Click here.
