Behind Every Successful Man, There is a ...............

As the saying goes- behind every successful man, there is a woman. Barack Obama's wife, michelle is like a 'pillar' behind the husband. She boosts his moral both at home and in public.
The New York Governor who betrayed his wife by sleeping with prostitutes still have the full support of the wife in this time of humiliations.

How many of us are able to stand by our husbands in times of difficulties? Some Queens are not even able to keep their 'dirty linen' at home! Yes! I know what I'm saying cos I always hear "my husband did this and he did that". Then another queen will reply 'hwe'!! "yours is better cos mine is worse"!!!! Oh No , Queens!! Let's stop and protect them like our precious ornaments. Cos we are one in body and what affects them affects us as well. I love you all. Stay blessed

Politicians and sex scandals-

It keeps happening. Recklessly, shamelessly, cavalierly —
Congressmen, senators, governors, presidents, mayors, members of parliament— politicians at all levels keep starring in this familiar and non-partisan soap opera rerun. They engage in clandestine sexual entanglements, commonly cloaked in the tawdry textures of hotel pseudonyms and airport bathrooms and pay-by-the-hour copulation. All too often, their stealthy frolics then poison their political careers.

And now add to the lengthening list, the latest sex scandal- Gov. Eliot Spitzer, husband, father of three teenage daughters, who authorities on Monday said had been involved with a ring of prostitutes.

What about our own Member of Parliament? Honourable Richard Anane? How could he attend an HIV/AIDS conference and return with a 'pikinabolo'? Where were the condoms for distribution?


Whose fault? folks? Are we really the necessary 'EVIL'?

Kudos to the Pharoahs of Egypt

Power Queens-Eastern supported the Black Stars with all our heart, mind, soul and substance but they disappointed us. It was the Pharoahs of Egypt who lifted the 'Golden Cup'.
It was never 'Host and Win' but rather 'Host and Weep'.
We really wept and these two queens faces show how sad they were. We also used the occassion to disconnect defaulters and spread the word about HIV/AIDS.

Please focus on God because the Bible says that- "With God, all things are possible."

Mass Disconnection

The Power Queens in the Eastern Region embarked on a mass disconnection exercise last week, 4th to 7th February, 2008. We chose that period because it was very strategic due to the Ghana 2008 football fiesta.
Customers rushed to the office to pay their bills to avoid being disconnected. The disconnection exercise spread like 'bush fire in a harmattan season'. You will be surprised to know that, the defaulters in the other surburb readily produced their receipts when we got there to disconnect them. Guess what?????>>>?? They paid just the day before we got there!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Thats Magbad (right) and Mary (left) on the move

Observation
On our rounds, we realised that, some customers have both the prepaid and the credit meters on the same premises but are not issued with the post paid credit bills.
We also realised that, the Goecodes are not properly coded and it's really hectic trying to locate a particular defaulter.
Some compound houses have only one meter which automatically puts them in the 'penalty zone'
Most landlords are ignorant that it is now very easy to apply for a seperate meter.
Illegal Connection
Queen Joycelyn Quaye, Susana Quartey and Josephine Dual detected illegal connections in some houses. The culprits were booked and the exact locations given to the Loss Control Unit for further action.
Suggestions

All the meters should be changed to prepaid to avoid contract staff who cannot be trusted. This will go a long way to reduce crooks who connive with customers to defraud the company.

The maps should be updated often to make it easier to locate meters.

Mass education should be given to households on electricity consumption.

The meter readers should make the office aware of households which have only one meter but many tenants so that provision for additional meters will be made available to them

How to draw closer to your mother-in-law

"You don't have to be alike to like each other."

One afternoon I came across a list of my mother-in-law labeled, "Things to do when I get back to the States." Underneath phrases like "check the mail" and "call Mike and Sharon," I carefully penciled in the words, "send Shawnee chocolate chip cookies," just to do something unexpected to make her laugh. She did laugh, and returned the favor with her own jokes over the next several days.

As I learned during my two weeks in Central America, throwing aside your culturally built-in fear of your mother-in-law is only as difficult as you make it. So how can you take the first step toward finding the friend in your mother-in-law?

Make Contact!


Communication:

It's key to any friendship—but especially with the one woman in the world who loves your husband as much as you do. After investing 18 years or more of her life in this man, she's unprepared for him to "disappear" into the world you two create. So the simple act of keeping your mother-in-law informed on the happenings of your daily life with her son will draw her to you like nothing else.


Give Peace a Chance

Laurie spent several hours one afternoon telling me how much her mother-in-law disliked her, and how much she wished they could get along. Speaking with the older woman a few days later, I heard almost the exact same story. "Laurie doesn't like me, and I don't think she ever will," Evelyn moaned as she stirred her coffee, "but I'd give anything if we could just be friends." The unrest between the two women has gone on for years, but neither's willing to take the risks involved in mending the relationship.

Wanting to be liked is a basic human instinct—so instead of assuming the worst, think of your relationship with your mother-in-law as a friendship waiting to be built rather than a wall needing to be torn down.

Let God Be the Glue

"The basis of our friendship is our shared Christian faith," says Gayle Gresham, a writer in Colorado. "I start many of our conversations with, 'I have a theological question for you … ' and we both know we're about to have an interesting, enlightening conversation."

By building their relationship on the One who never changes, both women have a solid meeting ground. As the younger Christian, Gayle has learned to lean on her mother-in-law for spiritual support. "Helene's been my mentor since the beginning of my marriage. She's answered my questions and helped me grow in my faith."

Not every woman's blessed with the gift of a Christian mother-in-law, however. If your mother-in-law isn't yet a Christian, pray for her and continue your efforts to share Christ's love with her.

OR you're OK at your current position in life so you don't think there is any need to 'better' yourself by schooling?

It's up to you to examine yourself to know which class you are.

More party pictures with the orphans

The Queens danced, dinned and wined with the orphans. It was really exciting.

Party time with orphans at Huhunya

Eastern Power Queens support orphanage

The Eastern Power Queens visited the Hour of Grace Orphanage at Huhunya and presented a number of assorted items worth GH¢1,100.00 and a cash donation of GH¢100.00.

Mrs Cynthia Amartey, the Regional President (in cloth) presenting the items to Brother Lawrence, Father of the Orphanage.

The items included used and new clothings, bags of rice, bags of sugar,cans of milk, toys, toffees, buscuits, toiletries, juice, fruits and many other things.

Brother Lawrence thanked the Queens and encouraged us to continue to remember orphans during festive occassions like christmas.

Seasons Greetings

On behalf of the Regional Executive, we wish you all a merry Christmas and prosperous New Year. We also thank you for your co-operation. God bless you all.

What a Smile

Can you guess the Queen behind the spectacles?????????

She is Queen Joyce Micah, the current National Vice Secretary for Power Queens Club.

The new uniform

The executives and junior staff representatives from the regions met at the Power Queens Headquarters to choose the uniform for the junior staff.
The bidders were two with two different kinds of fabrics. One was from China and the other from South Africa.
The China fabric and style is the cream coloured inner wear with blue skirt and trouser suit.
The South Africa's is the white inner and the skirt and trouser suit in see in the picture.
After voting, the house chose the fabric and style from China.
The sad aspect is that, I really loved the South Africa's wear but I had only three other regions to support me. So folks that 's it!!!!!!!!!!!!! At loooooooooooooooog last

At the background are Queen Victoria Nuamah and Queen Sarah Nartey, the Chaplain and Porter respectively

National Secretary's message

Mrs Helena Appiah-Kubi is the National Secretary of the Power Queens Club. She shared with us a special message from the Managing Director.

Revenue Collection

According to her, the first concern is the revenue collection. She said due to the power outages, the revenue collection has reduced. People now use less of our product which is power and therefore pay less. Mass disconnection will be the antidote for our defaulters to pay us. It is very difficult to disconnect customers due to the current power outages but we still have to do it.
Due to the decrease in revenue, money for operations is not enough. She therefore advised Queens who are in the habit of conniving with people to inflate bills to desist from that. We should all help ECG to stand on its feet in times of crisis.
As part of our National programme, the club has embarked on revenue collection competition. Each region has set a day in each quarter of the year for a special revenue collection and the outcome is reported to the National Secretariat. The revenue collected will be ranked, taking the regional targets into consideration and the region that will emerge first on the list will be awarded at the next congress.
According to her, we have to be very active to help ECG to achieve its objectives and strategic goals.

Districts Offices

She said the vision of the MD is to empower the districts. The districts currently are regarded as the engine of growth. The regional offices do not have direct customers like the districts and therefore do not generate more revenue. The well educated staff would be sent to the districts to prove themselves and help the Company to improve upon its current position. She said we must prepare our minds that most of the regional staff will be transfered to the districts very very soon.

Attitude
she also urged us to change our attitude towards work and customers. How do we relate to our customers? If we have to rate ourselves, is it satisfactory? We must try very hard to satisfy both internal and external customers if we want to help ECG redeem its good corporate image.

District Managers (DMs)

ECG is changing and the vacancy for DMs are not going to be for technical men or women only. District B and C are available for people who are competent and have the qualifications to work. She wants as many ladies to apply. She advised us to develop ourselves for future challenges.
The conditions are that you should know the operations of ECG. She advised us to go to our collegues in the other units to educate ourselves on their job. We should ask questions.

She concluded by saying that, we should not let the self development be wasted but it should reflect on the job because ECG is changing and we have to change too.

National Executive's Special Visitation to Kdua

Visit

How would you feel if you have a mother and relatives who never visited you at the boarding house? It's sad eh? What about a headmaster of your school who sends you messages through the housemaster that you should not eat before 9 pm but only sits in the office and set rules? That's very bad too eh? Luckily for us, National Executive Members are not like the headmaster and the relatives above; they visited us today, June 6,2007 and we were very happy and empowered to see them. Their appearance alone shows how we have been able to demystify all those qualities attributed to men. They appeared very bold and beautiful and you will need no one to whisper to you that they are women who are determined to be agents of change for a new ECG. They were:

• Queen Miranda Okine - National President
• Queen Helena Appiah-Kubi -Financial Secretary
• Queen Joyce Micah - Asst. Secretary
• Queen Benedicta Carr -Treasurer
• Queen Patricia Hanson -Organizing Secretary
• Queen Sarah Nartey -Porter
• Queen Victoria Nuamah -Chaplain
• Queen Augusta Bansah -Sports Organizer

They are the newly elected executive at the last year congress at the Elmina Beach Resort.

New Faces

Some of faces are new to the members. Faces like Queen Joyce, Queen Sarah, Queen Augusta, Queen Victoria, Queen Benedicta and Queen Patricia. Even though they appeared very young, we see them as role models to prove that age is just a figure.
Personalities like Queen Miranda and Queen Helena have very rich experience in matters concerning Power Queens Club. Though they were in the previous they still have fresh ideas to share with us

Queens grab more awards

ECG (Eastern) organised the Best Worker Ceremony at the Regional Office yesterday, 6th December, 2006. The award winners were seventeen (17) in number. There were 4 Queens out of the 17 award winners.
Previously, there were no queens at all. The first Queen to win an award was Mrs Rosina Amankwaah of the Tafo District; she won the district award for Tafo in 2004.
Great strides however, were yet to be made inthe coming years. Guess what???#??*>........? The Regional Best Worker for 2005 was a Queen! She was the best for both the district and region. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She really made us proud.
This year, even though we did not grab the ultimate prize, we increased in number.
Stay tuned for more filla.
