Looking back over the year, we have had so many fun activities:
- Great Arts and Crafts

This summer - Open Gates– visiting our members’ homes.
- The Executive Board– that is a constant support
Hopefully I have not forgotten anyone’s activity that they work hard at for our club. If I did, please gently let me know.
The reason for me listing all these things is to remind all of you, we can do all this because of YOU. It takes many people working together to make the magic happen. We rely on each other. We did all this in one year; can you imagine what we have done in 100 years?
What will we do in the next 100?
We will be CELEBRATING 100 YEARS on Tuesday June 16th, starting at our usual time 9:30 Social Time with a bit of a meeting. This will be our final meeting for the 2025-2026 year. Come and help us celebrate this wonderful occasion. We will be having a salad potluck, bring your favorite salad to share. The club will provide decorated cakes for dessert. We will have a costume/hat contest (please dress up, it will be fun), table games, honored guests, club photo albums from the past and a PowerPoint running in a loop of many club activities from the past and present.
Come and help us celebrate!
Thank you all for a lovely year.
