Club News and Notes – January 2026

From the President

Happy New Year! We ended 2025 by holding our holiday gathering on December 17th, even though we had
to change locations at the last minute due to a water main break, we initiated three new club members, and enjoyed
a delicious meal, held a “blingiest/sparkliest” outfit contest (see the picture below), and had our fun left, left,
right, left gift exchange game. Thanks to everyone who attended, and thanks also to my fellow Board members
who stepped in to assist with the location change as well as the various evening’s activities—you ladies are the
best!

Our club members are starting the year off strong by volunteering in the community and planning many fun
social activities, along with a Bingo fundraising in February. The club calendar is included at the end of this
newsletter and is also on the club website. If you have any questions about Committee meetings or activities,
please contact the Committee Chair(s).

Planning ahead for our next club year, which commences in July 2026, there are numerous opportunities for
members to become involved in club leadership roles. We will have openings on the club Board for all six
elected positions; members serve in these positions for two years, so the new Board will lead our club from July
2026-June 2028.

The Committee Chair positions for the Civic Engagement & Outreach Committee and the Education and
Libraries Committee will also be vacant as of July 1, 2026—these two Committees support our community
partners in a myriad of ways, and include some fun and important programs and projects.

I hope you will consider taking on one of these leadership roles in our club. If you have any questions, please
contact me.
