It’s Fall Y’all! I hope the weather gets the message soon and cools off a bit. The weather isn’t the only thing that’s been hot lately…our membership has been growing every month. We are up to 141 members right now! That’s amazing! I love meeting all the new ladies and am excited for new members to become involved and even step up to support the club in a leadership position. We have a couple board openings and many interest group chairperson openings!

HELP NEEDED!!! Our biggest and most important plea to ensure continued success of our club is to fill our vacant executive board positions. We currently need 1 co-president to join Jenny. We also need 1-2 1st VPs to find and book speakers for our monthly luncheons. The club has an extensive list of speakers to reach out to, so the hard part has already been started. We have had a couple volunteers step up with interest in other open positions and we thank them for that. A current slate of officers is on page 4 of this newsletter. We will need to have a full slate to vote on at the November general membership meeting (luncheon). If you can find it in your heart to provide this much needed support, please let Jenny or Kari know. Board members rely on one another, because volunteers come to these positions with different knowledge and skills. Members lead busy lives, spending time with family and friends, travel etc, but we cover for one another during absences. These dedicated members ensure that the Club continues to function.

In even numbered years we review our bylaws, which is being done by a small committee led by Leigh, our parliamentarian. The changes will be discussed at the October board meeting. If you have any changes you would like to be made, please bring them to the board meeting October 6, 9:45AM, just before the coffee at Lanese’s home.

Our October luncheon speakers will be 2 of our own members! We are excited to welcome Franki & Audrey who will share with us all the do’s and don’ts of kitchen design and catch us up on the latest trends.

Our Hand Knee & Foot group is looking to grow! Go give it a try at Carrabba’s on the 2nd & 4th Monday each month. It is a fun card game based on canasta that is easy to learn! As always, please don’t hesitate to let us know of any questions or concerns you have. We are always available to you.

Your 2026 Co-Presidents,
Kari & Jenny
