The Presidents Letter

Welcome to Summer Fun!

Val Rogers and Linda Whitacre, new Co-Presidents would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support as we begin our new leadership positions. Both of us recognize what this organization has provided us – friends, fellowship, fun and food – and we willingly give back to you by serving in this position. We talk about “where we would we be without Newcomers” and we would be in a lonely place. We are so thankful for each of you and look forward to building the membership and providing dynamic meetings, activities, and friendships for all.

A special thanks to our outgoing President Jena Davenport and the board members that are retiring from their positions. They have served this organization well. Jena plans to continue to serve in the position of Publicity Chair and Out-to-Lunch co-coordinator. Several other retiring members are also continuing in new positions.

It is MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL time between June 1 and June 30. Don’t Delay. You must send in your renewal form, found in this newsletter, by June 30. If for some reason your $25 check and renewal form is not in by June 30, your name will not be in the membership booklet.

NEW FALL ACTIVITY ! Susie Balthazar is premiering a new activity to begin in September – Dining Out – Read the information and sign-up to participate. It’s a great way to get to know members and to try new restaurants.
