UPDATES & NEWS

HELP NEEDED! Two very important committees are currently without a chair. Our Habitat Committee that does such great work in planning and installing the landscape at the annual Habitat Women’s Build where all the work on renovating the home and the landscaping are undertaken by women for women. The Publicity Committee also needs a chair. Anyone who has had experience in compiling and issuing press releases, please consider taking this on – even if you haven’t had experience it’s something that can be readily learned. Remember – we all need to serve on at least one committee. It’s a great way to make friends while doing a lot of good for the club. Terry Fisher, our Membership Chair, has details of how the committees work and if you would like to read about it, give her a call and she’ll send you the information.

PHOTO CONTEST OPEN! Every year the winner of the photo contest has their photo as cover of the club directory, our website home page and the Facebook cover photo. To enter the photo contest please visit Photo Award for more information.
