PLACE
St. Bonaventure Parish Centre
1300 Leslie Street, Toronto
TIME:
7:30 p.m. General Meeting
SPEAKER:
Douglas Purdon
TOPIC:
Art Forgery
Douglas Purdon, artist, author and award winning professor, will
discuss the world of art forgery and its implications for art
collectors and the general public. We expect that you will be
fascinated to learn of some of the world's greatest art forgers, their
skills, knowledge and talents, the effect of their crimes on our
society, the vigilance needed to guard against this type of crime,
and other many interesting facts.
Douglas graduated from the Ontario College of Art (AOCA) and is
a full-time painter. His preferred medium is oil, but he also works
in watercolour and acrylic. In 1998, he wrote the best seller Color
Secrets for Glowing Oil Paintings, published by North Light
publications

there be no cuts to the child care budget. I also sent a
letter to Mayor John Tory and Gary Crawford, Chair
of the City of Toronto Budget Committee. My
recommendations included:
1. Increase the fee subsidies to support the child
care capital plan which will build a significant
number of additional licensed spaces.
2. Maintain the School Board Occupancy Grants
and call on the Ministry of Education to pay
for child care accommodation costs in schools.
3. Implement the second year of the Child Care 5year Sustainability Plan to increase base
budget and reduce draw from Expansion
Reserve by $2M, as approved by Council in
2016.
From Your President
“Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday”
Dr. Mike Daley entertained and educated us about the
Beatles at our January meeting. Many members told
me how much they enjoyed Dr. Daley that night. It
was wonderful to have such a large audience at the
January General Meeting. Thanks to the many
members who brought guests. Please do continue to
tell your friends about us, bring them to our meetings
as guests, and keep coming to hear our excellent
speakers.
At our January meeting, we also held a minute of
silence for the victims of the Quebec City massacre
which occurred the previous night. On February 1,
CFUW issued a statement condemning the recent
attack on the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre in
Quebec City. “We mourn the loss of every human life
and offer our sympathy to the community. CFUW and
our members work to prevent violence in all its
forms,” said Grace Hollett, National President of
CFUW, “We celebrate diversity among the people of
Canada. We offer our deepest sympathies to all those
affected by this act of violence”.
CFUW Ontario Council has also added its voice for
an affordable, accessible, flexible high quality early
learning and child care service.
I look forward to seeing you on February 27th.
Be sure to bring your friends!
Cathy Vendramin, President
CFUW Mission Statement
CFUW members are committed to support and undertake:
– The pursuit of knowledge
– The promotion of education
– The improvement of the status of women and human
rights
– Active participation in public affairs at the local,
national and international levels in the spirit of cooperation
and friendship.
At our January meeting, we introduced a Suggestion
Box to capture ongoing feedback from our members
at general meetings. You can let us know about
anything pertaining to our club, including potential
speakers or your thoughts on not passing the donation
boxes around the room for charitable collections this
year. If you prefer to send me your feedback via
email, please send it to
[email protected] .
CFUW Certificates
The Power of Women Working Together was
recently rewarded as Mayor John Tory agreed to give
the subsidized spaces in child care centres, as well as
schools, a one-year reprieve from a cut that would
have meant a fee hike for thousands of families. The
mayor acknowledged that pressure from parents,
daycare advocates and city councillors prompted him
to reconsider. Thanks to the CFUW Toronto Caucus
members, including Margaret McGovern and Karen
Edson of UWCNY, for mobilizing the local Toronto
clubs to fight the proposed cut in grants to child care
spaces in January. Also thanks to all of you who
wrote or called your city councillors to request that
Certificates will be awarded to long-time members by
CFUW.
A search of our manual records found 60 years for
Phyllis Reeser, Louise Slemin and Sally Williams; 50
for Mary Hainsworth; 40 for Helen-Sue Gorman,
Andrea Journeaux and Lorraine Kaake; and 25 for
Margaret Liu and Judy Mapleson.
If you think you should be on that list, please advise

John, LSD and heroin; the Yoko factor; the increasing
rivalry with John and control that Paul was exerting.
The breach between them was bitter, and a seven-year
roller coaster of international fame ended as each one
went his own way.
Interspersed with the narrative, Mike strummed the
music which was so familiar to all of us and had first
and second generation fans tapping their feet. Thank
you for a memorable evening.

Programme Convenor
January Speaker
Mike Daley - The Beatles
Have you ever wondered why the Beatles chose the
name? And why they spelt it with an 'a' rather than an
'e'? If you were in the audience at the recent Men's
Night you would know that they were saluting Buddy
Holly and the Crickets, but as early rock and rollers
they also played music with a beat. This was just one
small snippet of information that Dr. Mike Daley
gave, at a very full house, as our January speaker. Dr.
Daley, an academic, musicologist and performer, an
admitted second generation Beatles fan, delivered a
lively and detailed account of the Beatles
phenomenon.
After the opening strains of All My Loving, Mike
described the early days of the foursome in the
unlikely northern city of Liverpool. John, the eldest
and a charismatic leader at seventeen, was joined by
Paul and later by George, who, as a younger fourteen,
had to prove himself to become lead guitarist. Richard
Starkey (Ringo) joined them after they had been
through a series of drummers. Initially they started out
as the Quarrymen, a reference to Quarrybank School,
but after a series of name changes emerged as the
Beatles. They started out as a skiffle group using
improvised instruments and were influenced by the
music of Lonnie Donegan, later it was Elvis and
American rock and roll.
The Beatles played on the Liverpool club scene and
garnered a loyal following. They were an unorthodox
group with a cheeky irreverence and spunky sense of
humour. Wearing black leather and slick back hair,
they made a distinct impression. It was a three-year
stint in a Hamburg club that honed their musical skills
with a gruelling schedule of being on stage.
They struck lucky in meeting two men who nurtured
and polished their talent. The first was Brian Epstein
who became their manager. Brian owned a record
store in Liverpool and had the business sense that the
Beatles lacked; he promoted their career by changing
their appearance and emphasizing their need to be
more professional. His death left a sorry vacuum in
their personal and professional lives. The second man
to mentor and stabilize them was George Martin. As a
classical musician, he had the musical training to
nurture the immense musical talent of Lennon and
McCartney as composers.
Beatlemania and a punishing touring schedule
inevitably took its toll on the foursome. Mike did not
avoid the darker elements of their lives: the drugs; for
Thank You
At our January meeting, $1,012.80 was collected for
the North York Women’s Shelter (NYWS). The
NYWS, provides HOPE 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. As noted on their website (nyws.ca): “After all
these years, we are still here and have renewed hope
in the lives of thousands of women and children.
Thank you for helping make that possible.”
Dian Laycock, Treasurer
Note from the treasurer
Mr. Len Schaefer gave a donation to NYWS at the
January meeting but did not leave his address. If he
was your guest please, get in touch with Treasurer
Dian Laycock so he can get a receipt.
Condolences
Our sincere sympathy is extended to Jill Lacey and
her family on the recent death of her son, Albert.

support and/or proposed amendments. Proposed
amendments will be published in the March
newsletter. A vote will be held at our March 27th

Whereas the Canadian federal government adopted
the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous People “without qualification” in 2016,
and therefore be it
Resolved, that the Canadian Federation of University
Women urges the Federal, Provincial and territorial
governments of Canada to move expeditiously to
secure access to safe, clean, accessible and affordable
drinking water and sanitation for all residents of all
First Nations Reserves; and
Resolved, that the Canadian Federation of University
Women urges the Federal, Provincial and territorial
governments to develop inclusive national water
standards as well as five and ten-year plans of action
to ensure the funds allocated are adequate and utilized
for sustainable solutions, including appropriate
training and certification of Reserve residents to
ensure regular monitoring and maintenance.

Resolution #2
Universal Pharmacare
Proposed by: University Women’s Club of North

Proposed by: The University Women’s Club of
Winnipeg
Whereas Canada is the only country with a universal
health care system that does not cover the cost of
prescription drugs,
Whereas while most municipal water systems in
Canada do deliver safe, clean, frequently tested
drinking water and sanitation services, the majority of
rural Canadians who lack these services are
predominantly reserve-based First Nations people
who, because of shared jurisdiction with the
Government of Canada, are not currently included
under the Canada Clean Water Act and its
Regulations,
Whereas the current patchwork system of providing
prescription drugs to Canadians is neither adequate
nor sustainable,
Whereas a universal national drug coverage plan that
is public and affordable would ensure access for all
Canadians; and therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Canadian Federation of University
Women (CFUW) urges the federal, provincial and
territorial governments of Canada to work
collaboratively to implement universal Pharmacare, a
publicly funded drug plan that would cover medically
necessary prescription drugs for all Canadians,
regardless of their ability to pay.
Whereas many First Nations people consider water a
sacred trust which women have a special
responsibility to protect,
Whereas the right to “safe, clean, accessible and
affordable drinking water and sanitation” is a human

Note: The UWCNY is giving more awards each year than revenues and interest are generating. The 10
year plan (from May, 2013) is to reduce the net unrestricted assets to $50,000. The trustees decided to
leave the investments in the Beverley Jackson Fund at the original amount of $39,200 and moved surplus
funds to the other Fund. Due to the past fiscal year's economic realities, losses were sustained in the mutual
funds.

University Women’s Club of North York Scholarship Fund
Annual Report for 2015 – 2016
Trustees:
The trustees of the University Women’s Club of North York Scholarship Fund in 2015-2016 were:
Nancy Howe – Chair
Ellen Baker – Treasurer
Joanne Reilly – Secretary
Cathy Vendramin – Trustee and UWCNY Vice President
Valerie Sterling – Trustee and UWCNY Education Convener
Meetings:
The trustees met four times during the year:
• September 21, 2015, where we decided to continue the four awards to Seneca College at $1,000 each,
which included the Betsy Carr Award, to go to a female student enrolled in a full-time women’s
studies/social work type of classes. The awards to York University remained the same for 2015-2016,
totaling $5,000. For Claude Watson, the award remained at $1,000 and for Earl Haig we continued
with our award of $1,000 to a female graduating student who will be entering an engineering program.
The Beverley Jackson award of $2,000 continued to be administered by CFUW.
• November 23, 2015, we welcomed comments about the October general meeting, where two of our
award recipients made presentations to the club. Cathy Vendramin volunteered to update the
Scholarship Brochure with more current information.
• February 1, 2016, for the annual meeting, where the audited financial statements for the previous year
were approved. At the regular business meeting which followed, we discussed and finalized the criteria
for our awards, to make all of the awards have similar criteria. After several discussions with CFUW, it
has been decided that the Beverley Jackson award will be administered by UWCNY for the next fiscal
year.
• May 2, 2016, a representative from York University attended the first part of our meeting, to discuss our
awards to York, and the possibility of increasing the awards from $500 to $1,000. The trustees were
invited to the Seneca awards ceremony, to meet the recipients. We invited them to attend our October
“Education” General Meeting in the fall of 2016. The trustees were also invited to attend a reception
and awards ceremony for the Earl Haig and Claude Watson winners in May.
Financial Statements:
The statement of Revenue and Expenditures for August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016, and the Balance Sheet as of July
31, 2016 are attached.
This year we received $5,732 in donations, and $1,471 in interest and dividends, totaling $7,203 in revenue. Our
awards totaled $13,000, with $100 in administration costs, and $1,870 as a loss when mutual funds were sold, for a
net loss of $7,767. We had anticipated a shortfall, as we had decided to increase our awards to use up some of the
cushion we had accumulated over the past several years. Our total assets are $153,679. We want to thank
members for donations, memorial gifts, and Jill Reeve and her helpers for their contribution from the annual book
sale in February/March.
Our investment portfolio remains with BMO Nesbitt Burns.
Diane Johns generously gave of her time to review the financial statements for the Scholarship Fund this year.

Government Returns:
The Registered Charity Information Return was completed and filed with the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency)
prior to the deadline. The list of trustees was sent to the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario, Office of the
Public Guardian and Trustee. Both were filed within six months of the close of the fiscal year.
Communications:
Scholarship Fund news and reports were included in issues of the UWCNY newsletter to keep club members
informed and aware of the fund. We look forward to having some of our award recipients at our October General
Meeting.
Beverley Jackson Award Costs:
The amount of the Beverley Jackson award was again $2,000, and we continued the policy set in 2005-2006 of a
contribution of $100 (5% of the award’s value) to CFUW to assist with administrative costs. The annual return in
the fund did not cover the award. Surplus was again used to top up this year’s award. As of next year, this award
will be administered by the UWCNY Scholarship Fund, and not by CFUW in Ottawa.
Thanks to our Members:
The trustees would like to express their appreciation for the continued interest and support of the executive and
members of the University Women’s Club of North York.

Scholarship Fund Auditor’s Report
UWCNY Book Sale in March
To the Trustees of the University Women’s Club of
North York Scholarship Fund:
Just a reminder of our annual, signature quality used
book sale. It will be held starting 6:45 pm at our
general meeting on March 27th (NOT this coming
meeting). Please bring in your recent, less than 6 or 7
years old, books. We sell them for $5 each, so they
have to be good. This is not the time to clear out your
basement of old P.D. James or John Grisham
novels. Dealing with all the leftovers used to be a big
problem, but now we have a member and her husband
who lug them away to the Sick Kids book sale.
I have carried out an inspection of the financial
records of the University Women’s Club of North York
Scholarship Fund for the period August 1, 2015 to
July 31, 2016. I have not found anything to suggest
any irregularity in the keeping of these records, and
have found them to show a true picture of the Fund’s
finances, to the best of my knowledge based on the
information provided.
This is a fundraiser for our Scholarship Fund
