Closing Luncheon

Join us for the CPWC Closing Luncheon on Friday, May 19, 10:30 AM at the home of Julie Lischer. We will enjoy a lovely lunch, install next year's slate of officers, and award Member of the Year. We will be in the back garden, weather permitting. RSVP by May 12. Cheers!

From the Co-Presidents

Welcome to May!

Well, the time has come... our last month of scheduled activities. April was great! First Friday was a hit and the Program’s Field Trip, the tour of Atlanta, had unprecedented attendance. The weather even cooperated! It’s always so fun to see who shows up. We don’t always get to see our neighbors day to day, and seeing someone I haven’t seen in a while is a little like finding an Easter egg.

This is my last month as Co-President. I have very much enjoyed my time in this position. Going forward, I know Susan and Martha will continue to do a great job for this group. I’ll still be on the board and look forward to working with all the fabulous women who have signed up to volunteer. Thank you to all the incoming board members. We couldn’t do all the great things this group does without the board and the committee chairs. THANK YOU!

I hope to see a lot of you at the Closing Luncheon on May 19. Please sign up if you haven’t so we have enough delicious lunch for everyone!

I’m just so grateful that I was chosen to be your leader for a little while. Thank you so much.
