The women of the Idaho Council of Catholic Women (ICCW) cordially invite you to
attend the 2021 ICCW Biennial Convention at Our Lady of Good Counsel (OLGC)
Catholic Church in Mountain Home, Idaho. Our theme this year is Through Him, With
Him, In Him.
Our venue this year is the OLGC hall because hotels are unable to host events at this
time. This has proven to be a benefit in that the costs are greatly reduced for our
convention! For those who are attending in person, there are 14 rooms at The Hampton of Mountain Home and 10 rooms at The Mountain Home Inn for your convenience.
We will also be going online for the first time for those who are unable to physically
attend but still wish to watch parts of the convention. This opportunity gives our
members the ability to watch our speakers and put forth questions at the end of their presentations. Those who wish to attend online will be given a link just before the beginning of the convention.
This year we will be supporting the small businesses who have taken such a big loss
during the shutdowns. Supporting small businesses throughout Idaho will take a bit of work from all of you to succeed. We need you to collect business cards, promotional fliers, and upcoming events/sales fliers from the small businesses within your community. Bring them with you to the convention if you are coming in person so that they can be posted for all to see. Then in your baskets and silent auction items, put in gift certificates and coupons from these businesses.
For our 101st year of service to the diocese of Boise, we have invited an outstanding
pair of speakers that will grow your knowledge in the areas of membership recruitment, working well with your pastor, keeping meetings interesting and online, and so much more! Elizabeth Tomlin is the general counsel for the Military Archdiocese and works closely with the Military Council of Catholic Women. Her experience shines through stories of her kids, her military husband, and their many moves around the world. Carol Brown is well known to many of us. Carol is with Salt & Light Radio Boise and directs many of their fundraisers, the Catholic Women’s Conference, and the Catholic Men’s Conference. She will be sharing her experience on how to put these events together in person and online.
We look forward to seeing all of you at the convention!
