This is the third time I’ve written my “last” President’s letter. Each time I get sentimental and philosophical. This is no exception.
Every time I write about how easy this job is and how rewarding. Well it still is. However most of it has not been my doing. My spinal surgery last March was supposed to be just a couple of months to recuperate. Well, it wasn’t. But you, my wonderful SRVNC friends, made it work. I never saw anyone who didn’t offer their help and support. And still does. I love this group and I am so grateful I found it. I will still be on the board because I want to give back and volunteer wherever I am needed. The best news is, however, that Jan McArdle will be President. I can’t wait to work with her-altho I have been for years as she always was there in any capacity. Good luck Jan!!
Just to clear up some business. There has been some confusion about the dues and when you owe it. The board has come up with a fair way to handle dues from women who join after the year (June) starts. We will collect 2$ per month for every month til the end of the year-whether you join in August or March. Our budget year starts in June and so do our dues. I hope that clears that up.
We are still looking for a Gad-A-Bouts chair. It isn’t that hard and we have notebooks of places to go-many of which was arrived at my a member survey. Most of the time it requires just choosing the place, write up a notice, and take reservations. It doesn’t have to be every month, but this group has always been a club favorite and attracts many new members. Think about it.
Thank you all for helping make me “look good” as your president. I could never do it without you all. Jan, you will be a great leader and I can’t wait to work at your side.
Hugs,
Myrna
