A Message From The President
Hello, Ladies,
Welcome to our new members! Thanks to those who have renewed their membership and who have donated their annual dues. As I stated in my last letter, we will donate all funds collected from the annual dues to Mission House and Rethreaded. Even though we offer free membership this year, you still need to fill out a renewal application if you are a current member. If you haven’t renewed yet, please visit the Application page. The deadline to renew is December 31, 2020.
Although we weren’t able to have our annual Fall Dinner, we will still make charitable donations, just like we do every year. After my call to all members for their charity suggestions, we were presented with three deserving organizations. This year the Board has agreed to donate to Inspire to Rise, The Sanctuary of Northeast Florida, and Children’s Home Society. To learn more about these charities, please click each name to go directly to their websites.
We have a new Member Spotlight! This month we tried something a little different and focused on several women. This Spotlight is entitled The Mask Makers and highlights the women who assembled kits, cut fabric and made masks for those in need during this pandemic. We are proud of these members and hope you enjoy the article written by MaryAnn Healey.
Last month, the Welcoming Committee delivered gifts to new JGCC residents. We had a great time decorating cookies, assembling plants, and meeting our new neighbors! If you are interested in lending a hand and would like to join the Welcoming Committee, please contact Tracy Navarro at tracynavarro.realtor@gmail.com.
Our annual Luminarias Evening will be on Saturday, December 5th. This year, in addition to the traditional payment methods, you will also be able to purchase your Luminaria Kits using Pay Pal. You can also sign up to volunteer directly through this website. Please visit the Luminarias page for all of the details.
As so many events have been affected by COVID-19, our annual Wolfson Children’s Hospital Toy & Book Drive is no exception. There will be no toy drop box in the Clubhouse this year. However, you can donate gifts through Amazon and have them sent directly to Wolfson. For additional details, please see the flyer in our newsletter or on the What's New page.
Due to our lack of activities, we have decided to make this newsletter a Holiday Issue to cover November, December, and January. Our next issue will be in February. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season! Here’s wishing 2021 is more peaceful, less challenging, and full of health and happiness for all of you and your families.
Thanks,
Stacie
