-Letter from the President-
Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the summer, even if some days haven't embraced the whole summer spirit!
Mark your calendars for our upcoming September meeting on Tuesday, September 2, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Donner Room. I will share more details about the program soon, and I encourage you not to miss it!
Your unique interests and ideas are the heartbeat of our community. If you have a passion you'd like to share by starting a new group, we wholeheartedly welcome it! Please reach out to me with your suggestions. In previous years, we've had international dining, theater, film, and writing groups, but unfortunately, they are no longer functioning. This year, we've introduced a Rummikub group and a Coffee Klatch, where members come together to share their interests and experiences. I’ve also heard excitement about Scrabble—if you’re interested in joining this, please let me know!
Let’s extend a warm welcome to our new members joining this month:
Hilary Balfour
Dawn Meier
Lorre McCurdy
I encourage you to explore the activities listed in the attached calendar. Remember, this community is yours to shape and develop. Your input can truly transform it into a vibrant space that reflects your passions and interests. Let’s make it something special together!
Bev Fellows
