BWC 2010 Summer Newsletter
Summer is here and it is our pleasure to update you on the Bedford Women’s Club. The Executive Board has been meeting and we have lots of news to share.
We are a club of 141 members and that is an excellent number. The Executive Board and the Program, Fundraising, Yearbook and other Committees are well on their way to putting together an exciting year. We are very enthusiastic about all the learning and social opportunities our club has in store for you. We are asking you to invite your friends, neighbors and co-workers to our New Member Coffee to be held on Wednesday, August 25 at 7PM in the McAlister Room, on the lower level of the Bedford Library. They will learn about the many fun programs, social events and interest groups they can enjoy with old and new friends.
The Town Memorial Tree Committee will be meeting in August to select the 3 people we will be honoring in December. If you would like to recommend someone for any one of the three categories: someone who has fostered friendship, someone who has inspired us or someone who is serving or has served in the armed forces, please send your recommendations to Nancy Herper (herperinnh@mac.com) by August 19th. You may also contact Nancy if you would like to join the selection committee.
We have decided to provide 2 opportunities for you to sign up for Interest Groups this year. The first will be at the New Member Coffee we mentioned above, which is open to all members and scheduled in the evening to accommodate our Associate Members. The second opportunity will be at our September Business Meeting.
The September Business Meeting is a light lunch meeting beginning at 11AM and will be held on Thursday, the 23rd in the Fellowship Hall of the Bedford Presbyterian Church. This meeting is for MEMBERS ONLY and we will be presenting our program for the year. We have used the vote from the April Meeting and the questionnaire results to establish our activities and programs for the year. We did not have a majority vote to move our monthly meetings to a morning format; however, this and other important by-law changes will be discussed and voted on at this fall business meeting. Please come and reconnect with friends you haven’t seen this summer and learn about all the club will have in store for you.
You will also have an opportunity to meet Kathleen McMillan who has graciously agreed to take the co-recording secretary’s position vacated by Nancy Burke. Nancy has resigned from the position for personal reasons but will remain an active member of the Club. We are sure you will welcome Kathleen in her new role.
The Yearbook is getting pulled together this month and we will update the web-site with our schedule as it gets finalized. Please check it at www.bedfordwomensclub.org for updates throughout August and September.
Fondly,
Joan Miller and Mary Jo Howe
Co-Presidents, Bedford Women’s Club
