Dear Fellow Members,
Hopefully, we have seen the last of the cold and white, flaky precipitation we all moved here to get away from! As the nice weather returns, we are ramping up on our outdoor activities as well as other events. Many thanks to Joan Phillips, our Activity Director, for the variety and quantity of exciting things to do and new places to explore.
For those who were unable to make the last meeting, the attendees were treated to a couple of wonderful speakers. One of our presenters, Michelle Old, Founder of Diaper Bank of NC, joined us for lunch and we discussed a volunteer partnership to support their mission of providing health resources and dignity to individuals ranging in age from infants to the elderly. We will be offering an opportunity to assist the Wilmington chapter with one of their “Wrap Party” events. Please look for it in our upcoming Activity calendar. We hope to make this an ongoing partnership, both assisting with the events and creating diaper and product drives throughout the year.
Our second speaker, Darrell Sheldon, was from the Tidewater Camilia Club, who brought a beautiful plant to raffle off. He also imparted a slew of information in caring and propagating these extraordinary blooms.
The preparations for our upcoming Spring Celebration are in full swing, and we anticipate a sold-out event. More information will be coming at our next meeting, on Friday, March 13 at Leland Cultural Arts Center. Our speakers will be Tammy Daniels, Senior Managing Director, Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College and Joshua Toler from GFL. Please try to attend and bring along a friend or a snack!
The Nominating Committee is looking for members who wish to volunteer in a leadership role for our club. You may self-nominate for any office at the March meeting or, if you prefer, speak to one of the committee members.
See you at the meeting!!
