Fall arrives September 22 this year, and hopefully, cooler temperatures will arrive with it. We’ve experienced some very hot temperatures this summer. Thank you to all members who have opened their homes and hosted several monthly coffees making for a more comfortable get together. We’ve also been able to enjoy some coffees at Gibson Pond Park which is a beautiful setting.

This is a busy time of year for our Newcomers’ Club. Committees are forming, planning and looking for volunteers to help fill the club’s needs going into next year. The nominating committee is working to fill executive board positions for 2026-2027. Those positions are: one or two presidents, two 1st vice presidents, a treasurer and a parliamentarian. Please consider helping the club by volunteering.

In October we will be voting for a new charity to support with the donations we collect at our coffees and luncheons. At the August luncheon representatives from three charities will present information about their organizations. Those three are Midland Orphan Relief, Harvest Hope and “Paw”metto Life-Line. In October, please vote for the charity you want to support. If you cannot make the luncheon in October, there will be a ballot in the October newsletter.

It is not too early to begin planning for the holiday luncheon! Please mark your calendars for December 11 at the Country Club of Lexington. The planning committee is hard at work making sure it is another great event. Reservation forms will be in the October and November newsletters.

We are always open to suggestions and solutions. We welcome your input.

Your 2025 Co-Presidents,
Carol & Kari
