IMPORTANT UPDATE from President Caroline Windham

Ladies,

 For the safety of our members, the January General Meeting this Thursday WILL NOT BE A LUNCHEON.  Please eat before or after the meeting.  This will allow everyone to keep their masks on.

 Following the Christmas and New Year holidays, a surge of positive COVID-19 cases is happening.  The vaccine is so close to becoming available to all of us, but until the end of Flu season or most have received the vaccine, MASKS ARE REQUIRED AND MUST REMAIN ON while in the clubhouse.  SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE ENCOURAGED.

Zoom will be available for those who choose not to attend in person. 

 No meal means there is no money being collected at the door.  

 If you have any questions, please contact me.

–Caroline

WELCOMING NEW “STARS”, WHO HAVE RECENTLY JOINED OUR CLUB:
Mitzi Prater and Linda Theilmann were approved by the Board at the October Board meeting. Both are joining Community Engagement & Outreach. They will be formally introduced and pinned at the November Luncheon.
AND REMEMBERING “FALLEN STARS”:
In October, we lost two long time members. Annie Louise Clements (90), mother of Mary Rogers, both in the Youth CSP, and former member Margaret Parker (94) , who has not been active for several years but is remembered.

Recycle Plastic Tops For GIRLS, INC-Girls, Inc. wants to collect 250 pounds of plastic tops, caps and lids to build a recycled plastic BUDDY BENCH. Green Tree Plastics -ABC Partnerships turns plastic waste into reusable building materials and furniture. This will be an on-going project all year long for our Club by the Education CSP. A box will be set up at the Clubhouse for these plastic items. Contact Education CSP Coordinator Cheryl Wisner for details.

STAR of the Month

Our December STAR Club member was Kay Hicks, a member since 2016 and an active member of the Education & Libraries CSP. As a professional Certified Sign Language Interpreter, she was instrumental in organizing her CSP’s participation with Ms. Foster’s hearing-impaired students at Hiland Park Elementary School. Kay logs many hours of volunteering for and outside of the Club: tutoring for Girl’s Inc., volunteering at the voting polls, with VITA , with FLOW [for which our club was recognized by GFWC International], and more. Kay does not wait to be asked to help, she just jumps in and does it. Congratulations, Kay!
