Happy 4th of July! It’s hard to believe that half of 2024 has already passed. Whether you enjoy the heat and humidity or not, summer is a fun time of the year. For me, it brings back childhood memories of days without homework, having fun on the lake or swimming pool, catching fireflies, and eating popsicles with friends. Some of us now enjoy these same activities with our grandchildren.

The July board meeting and coffee will be held on July 2 at Gibson Pond Park in Lexington. Last month 24 of us enjoyed the coffee and visiting with each other at the pavilion. It’s nice to have our gatherings in such a pretty setting.

The Spring Social at Segra Park on June 8 was a lot of fun. Thirty-five members and guests attended the game and enjoyed the food, hats, prizes and fireworks. A big thank you to Kari and Randi for planning and organizing the event for the Club.

It’s that time of year to organize the Nominating Committee. If you are asked to participate in the committee, please consider joining to help find members to fill the board positions that will be vacant next year. We have a few positions to fill since some board members have fulfilled their obligation as outlined in the bylaws. Those who may be thinking about participating as a board member or volunteering in any way with the Club, please contact Kari or Carol.

I am happy to report that we have had some members offer to work on the Holiday Gala at Spring Valley Country Club on December 12. Dividing up the various jobs required to organize the gala and sharing the job with another member makes the planning process fun and less demanding. We still can use additional help with the event. If you are interested, please contact Kari or Carol. We are always open to suggestions and solutions. We welcome your input.

Your 2024 Co-Presidents,
Carol & Kari
