May can be such a beautiful month! A few less rainy days and many more sunny ones can be expected .. or at least hoped for! Just the expectation always cheers me up!
Hopefully, voting has been completed or in the process of being completed, for our new board and charity for next year. We appreciate your participation in these important decisions for the club.
In these uncertain times, the club continues to try very hard to continue to keep prices for our events as reasonable as possible. The realization that the Philanthropy Committee members have donated not only their time and energy but much of the cost of putting parties together is a testament to the generosity that is so strong within our club. Members give what they can, and it is all so appreciated.
Luncheons do create their own set of financial issues that the board discusses on an ongoing basis. We have done an excellent job staying within our budget, but the costs involved have become more and more problematic. Restaurants are becoming even more expensive and finding rooms for a larger group, creates more difficulty. But, we are a resilient bunch and keep working toward quality luncheons with interesting speakers at a cost that is not prohibitive! Let us know if you have been to a restaurant you would like us to investigate for a future luncheon!
We also want to thank Susan Gray for her many years of service to our Club. She has moved to Bend with her family and we all wish her only the very best!
I wish you all happy days, complete with sunshine and clear skies!
Best wishes,
