July is upon us and so are the warmer temperatures. Many of us are enjoying time outside in the pool, at the lake, or at the beach. Make sure to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun. The main business we need to take care of for the club at this time is to start filling board positions that will be taken over in 2027. The sooner we fill the positions, the more time the new person will have to shadow the current person to be ready to go in January. Right now, we know we will need:

*Co-President-you will join Jenny who will have been doing it for a year and will know the ropes. There are 2 of you in the position and you split the work so it isn’t too much.

*Treasurer-this is a minimum time commitment job, but an important one

*Co-2nd Vice President (membership)-you will be in charge of checking the voicemail and sending information to interested prospective members. Again, a minimum time commitment job, and a job that has a 2nd person who helps out, Shirley makes the directory and handles all new applications.

Many of our interest group chairs are stepping down beginning in 2027 also, so for those interest groups to continue, we need new chair people. Right now, we know we need someone (can be more than 1 person) to take over Out & About, Book Club, Mahjong, and Pickleball. Please consider volunteering for these open positions to help the club continue to flourish. New members, there is no better way to meet people than to volunteer. It is a very rewarding experience. If you are interested, please let Jenny or Kari know.

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

Your 2026 Co-Presidents,
Kari & Jenny
