In light of COVID-19 and the Governor’s restrictions on gatherings, the Lockport Town and Country Club is closed for the time being.

The Spring Scholarship Fundraiser is being postponed.  Please hang on to your baskets if you have not delivered them to anyone. 

As soon as we have more information, it will be provided to members. 

Stay safe, stay home if sick, stay socially distant and help your neighbors if able.

March 2020

Please join us on March 5, 2020, at 7:00 at the Lockport Town and Country Club to hear Katherine I. Johnson, Ph.D speak about re-purposing old buildings to revitalize neighborhoods. Dr.Johnson is a Sociology Professor at NCCC. She is a part of the revitalization that has occurred at the NACC Building in Niagara Falls (The old NF High School building) and is currently on sabbatical studying the effects of revitalizing neighborhoods by re-purposing older buildings. Reservations must be made by Sunday, March 1, 2020 at 7:00 PM to the Telephone Committee. Hostesses will be Michele Gilbert and Kim Meal. You can also call Gail Marshall, Mary Beth Wilson will be out of town, so please don't call her. Please make sure to indicate whether you are bringing a guest. We will be having dessert, coffee and tea. The cost is $14.00. 

The Telephone Committee strongly urges members to review what number is listed in the current Directory. Some members have dropped their land lines in favor of cellphones and the Directory may not list that number. Remember, the Directory is the main means for contact if needed. And, speaking of the Directory, the Club is in need of a person to take over the Board position and responsibility for the Directory. Next year a new Directory will be printed and we are in need of a volunteer. It is truly not a hard job!! Please let Patty Russell or any Board member  know of your interest. 

Since the February meeting was cancelled, the Scholarship Committee will be presenting their recommendation for this year's scholarship awards. Please attend the meeting as a vote will be needed to approve the recommendation, 

The Spring Scholarship Fundraiser is fast approaching on April 5, 2020 at the Lockport Town and Country Club. The March meeting will be our last meeting before the Fundraiser. Please consider bringing your completed baskets to this meeting. You can also drop them off at the home of Susan Odle, but please call first to make sure she is home. Completed baskets can also be dropped off at the Country Club during business hours. If you have a question about that, please call Ida Quade about that (433-3698 or 998-0419). Small baskets or picture frames to put gift certificates and gift cards from the area are always helpful as well. These items can also be brought to the March meeting. 

Please keep an eye out for your Spring Fundraiser tickets in the mail. Our Fundraiser is always a lovely afternoon. This year we will be having Julie Muscato showing her new line of women's clothing and jewelry just as they used to do in Paris in the '20's. 

The next Board of Directors meeting will be held on March 12, 2020 at the home of Anna Beth Kinyon, 117 Windermere Drive, Lockport at 7:00 PM. Please contact Anna Beth if you are unable to attend.
