What a wonderful May Banquet!! ! It was a delight to meet our two scholarship winners, Riley Adams and Erin Haley. Good Job to Margo Covell and the Scholarship Committee for their dedication and hard work. And what a wonderful recognition of two members — Our 25 year member, Paula Falsioni, and our 50 year member, Barbara Smith. What dedication. We will look forward to hearing from our Scholarship members over the next four year which will conclude in 2022 - The 100^th year of Lockport College Women’s Club.

Our Spring Scholarship Fundraiser was a success despite horrible weather conditions. It looks like we raised $3,594.89 for our Scholarship Fund. Many, many thanks to our Co-chairs - Ida Quade and Madeline Angelo. Both have said that they will continue in that position for next year!!! And many thanks to the Basket Committee of Rosemary Dever, Pat Kennedy, Jancie Litz, Peg D'Amato, Dolores Tracy, Gail Sullivan and honorary members, Ed Tracy and Richard Dever. Many, many thanks to our Ticket Committee of Shirley Frombgen and Danielle Priest. And a heartfelt thanks to Paula Falsioni for underwriting the cost of the tickets.

 

New Directories will be printed next year. If you have any changes in address, telephone or email, please let someone on the Board know the change.

 

The Program Committee is always looking for suggestions for programs. Please give your suggestions to either Monica Pullano or Marion Hannigan.

 

Once again, we need to look ahead to next year. We are always looking for new people who are willing to serve either as an officer or on the Board of Directors. Please consider volunteering! It’s a great way to meet people and help out. It’s a fact of life now that fewer people will commit to joining a club such as ours. Many no longer see the need. Many claim that they do not have the time. The expectation of members is really not a significant amount of time - attendance at two meetings, payment of dues and support of the annual fundraiser. It's time we sang our praises and looked for new members to help with the historic vision of the women who created the club to begin with. Young women still need encouragement and support to reach for the stars. shared by two people, too. So if you are interested, please let Patty Russell or any other Board Member know of your interest.

 

The final Board of Directors meeting will be held on June 14, 2018 at the home of Patty Russell, 102 Continental Drive, Lockport at 7:00 PM. Please contact Patty if you are unable to attend.
