Greetings!
It’s hard to believe it’s the end of May already. Where did this month go? Well, ladies, it’s that time of year where we are finishing up our 2020/2021 club year. I’m sure most of you are looking forward to meeting in person next year.
Thank you to Sara for the wonderful presentation about Dream It, Be It last Wednesday. It was very informative and I loved the Powerpoint. Our club needs a member to step up and spearhead the program next year. All the groundwork has already been laid, we just need someone to sit in the driver’s seat and keep it moving in the right direction. It doesn’t have to be one person, there is always room in the passenger’s seat for a co-pilot. Just think, two people means half the work and twice the fun!
There is no Wednesday club meeting this week. Please be sure to join us the following week on June 2, 2021, for our Business Meeting. We have lots to talk about and a few motions to vote on. We are almost to the finish line so hang in there for the rest of the ride. There are only three more Wednesday club meetings before we go dark for the summer. See you in June!
With Gratitude,
President Billie

Dear Soropti-Sister Angels!
I am so grateful to all of you for the outpouring of support during my recent back surgery!
Your expressions of support have been amazingly healing in ways I can’t express. Thank you to all of you who have brought us food. You can’t know how helpful that has been! I am so fortunate to be a member of such a supportive group of strong and loving women!
Thank You so much! You are all Angels.
