President's Report
Convenlion at Langruth, June 1, 2 and 3, 1951
Officers and members of the
Lutheran Women’s League:
Again we are privileged to come
together for this our Twenty-
Seventh Convention of the L.W.L.,
and for the fourth time are accept-

conventions. There is within this group of women such depth of
character, and wealth of wisdom and experience that comes to light
through the various reports given, that is real inspiring. Many of
these Aids have a membership of as few as ten or twelve souls.

before them.

the Dorcas Society of the First Lutheran Church of Winnipeg, and
Betel Ladies’ Aid of Silver Bay are joining the L.W.L. I bid you
very welcome into our membership, and trust it will be mutually
beneficial.
Last fall I was very happy to accept an invitation to a joint
