To help overcome the winter blahs,
come to the next meeting when we'll meet Chet Fery, an inspirational speaker
and retired teacher with an upbeat message.
He uses 35 loaves of bread to accent the positive!
The dessert buffet will be at 7 pm
Thursday, March 6, at the Lockport Town & Country Club. Hostesses will be
Dolores Tracy and Mary Beth Caswell.
Please remember to make your reservation by 8pm Sunday, March 2. Guests
are welcome!
From
the Board of Directors:
–
Updating our Sunday, April 6 Fund-Raiser - about six weeks away,
but there's still time to make a basket and to give or secure donations of
goodies for INSIDE them. You'll receive letters/tickets/ more info, according
to Judy Cummings. For “anything baskets”, contact Pat Kennedy or Rosemary
Dever. The chairman is Jeannine Benoit,
who encourages you to bring a friend (or maybe 3?) to the big event.
–
So far, only two members have responded to the call for more
involvement in College Club offices or committees, so the Telephone Committee
will be calling you to encourage you to use your talents in big or small ways
to help us. President Patty Russell also
is collecting ideas for future programs, so please put on your thinking caps.
–
At the February meeting, the Scholarship Committee recommended that we
give one scholarship this year, at $1,000 for each of four years.
–
Mary Brennan-Taylor presented a most interesting program last time and
graciously has donated her honorarium to the YWCA.
–
Condolences have been sent to families of members who have passed away
– Dorothy Weir, a graduate of SUC Buffalo and a past president who joined in
1955, and Shirley Coulter, a graduate of Cornell University and a member since
1953.
–
The March meeting of the Board will be Thursday. March 13, at the home
of Dee Morotchie, 95 Vermont. If you're interested in a committee or office,
you might like to sit in to learn details. Just let Dee know if you're coming!
