Women's Club Presidenf Delivers Personal Address LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT An address to the Hood Canal Woman's Club by Vera ort- sleeves May ltl, 1968 meeting. In a weak moment las year I agreed to be on the program for this meeting and immediately 'forgot it. Here it is May and my turn. I'm suppostd to talk about Leadership Development. That is a ponderous subject and I don't feel qualified to do it properly - I would like to call it "Woman's World." I can remember when R was a Man's World. He was head of the household. He was the wage earner. He made the decisions. He was our Lord and Master. He wore the pants. Now it is a Woman's World. Since equality became a fashionable word, wo- men have invaded the men's world. We have become wage earners. We have entered all of the pro- fessions. We make most of the decisions. We wear the pants - Oh yes, just look aromd you on the streets and in the stores. We can even stand up to the bars and drink with them and listen to off-color jokes and four letter words. The only place I know that we haven't invaded is the men's John - but give us tlme! Are we loslng our femin- inity? Are we losing their re- spect? Do we really want to be equal? Have we got  Tiger by the Tail? Don't get me wrong. I admire these young fathers who share the household chores and care for the children, and when Mama gets home late from work, can get dinner started. That didn't happen in my day - since auto- matic washers, dryers, dish wash- ers and drip dry clothes, house- keeping takes less of Mama's time and she is free to have a career of her own.. But lets not forget we are women, Men like to feel protective and are sensitive of their maleness. They like to feel they are the stronger sex. Yes, and they like to be mothered a bit. I don't think we have to be a clinging vine. Most husbands are proud of their wives' accomplishments, but they don't want to be taken for gTanted, nor ignored. Lets face it, our first duty is to our husbands and family. Granted, most women would or.efer being home and practic- ing the wife and mother bit. But when it comes to educating our bhfldren, one Income is not enough in the average family. We must not lose the Joys and companionshlp of our home and family. As I have indicated, I have strayed from my subject. I'll try to blend it all together. Since women have become leaders in the home and community - so also do they have a responsibility in club affiliations. It is a .great honor to be the president of a Club like ours. And the rewards and satisfactions of what we ac- complish far surpass any mone- tary reward, Some women have natural leadership qualities. But all wo- men can develop leadership. Let's not waste our talents. There is not a woman here who would not make a good president. Why do we have to beg to get someone to take it. 2Yue, many of us are getting old and tired and some have family responsibllltes that prevent us from devoting time to club work. The Women who started club 41 years ago were young and vigorous and had great vi- ion. They reached their goal when this club house was built. Now they are ready to pass on the heritage they have left. We have been very fortunate in our leadership. Our club Is recog- nized as an outstanding club In the State and National Federa- • tion. Look at the awards we have .received the last two years - We thank you Dolores (Drake). We are living in a world of pro- test and we protest the protestors. Do you realize this has always been so since the birth of our nation? How about the Boston Tea Party? Taxation without re- presentation - how about the La- bor Unions? The years of strife which brought about labor re- forms including safety standards- health standards - and just earn- ings. And how about Woman Suf- ferage - How about that? Those hardy ladies, (in those days they were ladies) how they marched and crusaded. Well we got the vote. Are we using it properly? That was the start of the Wo- man's World. Ask any man - We did not get it wthout a struggle. Some of us can recall the cyc- les of Woman's dress - the long and voluminous clothes of the early 1900's, the hobble skirts and high button shoes of the 1910's to '20's and the Flaming Youth - the flappers - the short, short, have nothing on skirts were just as mini. And our youth went to the dogs just as fast then as now. Our dances were Just as bizarre and some of our songs were just as silly. Remember the Charlston- The Turkey Trot . The Big Apple - Is it so different now? There has always been youth revolt. iNot so loud and vocal and of course not so many of them. Now let's talk about Leader- ship. In the first place we should honor and respect our offlcere. We put them there. We should learn to listen as wen as partici- pate. We should be tolerant and polite during meetings - even when we become bored or do not agree with what ts being said or proposed - we should listen. We can learn and listen to both sides of the question. Moving around - walking out and whispering and talking are distracting and insult- Ing to a president or speaker. A good leader is also tolerant and willing to listen. She must be firm tn keeping the meeting un- der control, and on the subject in question. She asks and does not demand. She supplies the stim- ulus and motivation for the good of the club. I think we should have a rule that anyone need- ing to leave early or leave the room should rise and address the chair asking permission to do so. It seera to me it is the polite thing to do. I probably have been the Worst offender in that respect and I'm sorry. We are all human, subject to human error - none of us ts per- fect - but we can all learn. A president is only as good as her membership. Let us be coopera- tive - Let us be kind and above all, let us work for the good of the Club. Here is a little poem I came across the other day called, "How True" by an author un- known: I dreamed death came the other night, Heaven's gate swung wide; With kindly grace an angel stood and ushered me inside. And there, to my sstonlshment, Stood folks I'd known before - Some I'd judged and labeled, "Unfit for Heaven's Door." Indignant words rose to my llIm, But never were set free; For every face showed stutmed surprbe - No one expet reel FAT OVERWEIGHT AvIleble to you thout • doctor's mmk> flon, our I=m¢luct coiled Odrlnex.
