A Message From The President
Hello, Ladies,
I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday season. We have quite a few new and returning members, welcome to all of you!
We’ve wrapped up our membership dues drive for 2021. As a result of your generosity, we collected over $2,800 for charity! This amount will be split equally between Mission House and Rethreaded. Thank you to all who donated their annual dues. If you have any questions about your membership, please contact Vickie Cobb at vickiemennen@yahoo.com.
Even though we haven’t been gathering as a large group, several of our clubs are still meeting as best they can during this time. The Bridge Club continues to meet once a month at the Club for dinner and then bridge. The Book Club meets virtually via Zoom, and their Holiday “party" on December 9th was a fun event with lots of holiday sweaters and sparkly accessories. The Reel Club had a lot of participation from its members, offering entertaining movie and television suggestions.
The Luminarias Evening was a big success, and there was a great deal of neighborhood participation! It was a beautiful evening and wonderful to meet so many new neighbors and see a lot of familiar faces.
This pandemic has done nothing to dampen the generosity of our residents! The Wolfson Children’s Hospital Toy & Book Drive was a big success, too. Even though there wasn’t a drop box at the Club this year, an amazing number of gifts were collected. Seventeen bags full of toys were delivered to Wolfson a few days before Christmas. A big thank you to all who donated gifts and to those who donated through Amazon.
A couple of years ago, we changed our membership year to a regular calendar year (Jan 1-Dec 31). However, we understand that this has caused some confusion for our members with renewals. Therefore, we feel it’s best to return to aligning our membership year with our fiscal year (June 1-May 31). We are working on how this change will occur, and more information will follow soon.
Finally, as Covid continues to be a concern, the Board has unanimously decided to cancel our Spring Brunch. However, we are planning to go outdoors for a Happy Hour event at the Club on Tuesday, May 4th, for our members! If you are comfortable attending, we hope you will join us. Please save the date, and additional details will be sent soon.
Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks,
Stacie
