Lady Mayoress Claire Anstee gave her 801st speech (she said she gives 800 speeches a year as the wife of the Lord Mayor!) to the CWC at the Welcome Back hospitality morning. She was elegant, entertaining and enthralling speaking about a year in the life of the Lord Mayor and Mayoress and Mansion House. She talked about her daily schedules that at times involved 5 changes of clothes and meeting a very great many people. But you could sense the pride and joy of her past year in this role. She gave the impression that although her life was not her own this past year she would not have missed it for the world. And on top of it all we found out that she was born in Montreal, Canada! The CWC members are even more excited to visit Mansion House this December after such a wonderful description by Lady Mayoress Anstee.
Our past office manager Phyllis Nickerson sent a very generous gift donation to the Maple Leaf Trust. Funds were raised at her Almost the Queens Garden Party in her new home in Ottawa, Canada. The Maple Leaf Trust thanks Phyllis and her ever supporting husband Lee for donating the funds to our fund.
