Ellon Branch
A Time for Change
On Saturday 16th January 2010, members of the Branch at St Mary on the Rock, Ellon met to hold their AGM. In tune with the Roman god Janus, they looked both backwards and forward. The Rev'd Canon Peter Mander commissioned Carole Fox as the new Branch Leader to take the place of Sheila George who stepped down after six years in post. Carole who was instrumental in the formation of the Branch 30 years ago, has held several positions at both Diocesan and National level and will bring her expertise and experience to the Branch.
Two new members were enrolled, Charles Fox and Moira Milne. Charles has volunteered to be Diocesan Treasurer in place of Chris Crosley who is our new Diocesan President. To make the occasion more special our out going Diocesan President, Olga Robertson, was also present along with the new Diocesan President and a Diocesan member Teresa Probert from Orkney.
In Sheila's report on the past year, she welcomed the opportunities to share the aims of the MU with the wider congregations and expressed her thanks for their support. She has confidence that with the leadership of Carole, the support of the Rector and with the Diocesan President a branch member, the outlook is bright.
Sheila was presented with a beautiful bouquet in recognition of her contribution to the Mothers' Union in Ellon.
