August Newsletter

President’s Corner

Spouses,

August 1st....Wow! There is a lot coming up this month! From ladies night out, to Pink Lady Party, to play dates, to the auction! So many options to get involved! Speaking of the auction...A BIG THANK YOU to all those that have gone out to get donations and have donated items/baskets! It is certainly appreciated!

Next month we will be starting up our monthly meetings again. Tentatively, we will have meetings on September 9th, October 14th, November 11th, and December 9th. Let me know if you would like to host!

Is anyone else ready for fall? I am writing this at 2:00 PM on this hot Sunday and my thermometer is reading 105...and that is not in direct sun. Ugh. I hope you are all staying cool and hydrated!

See you soon!

Sincerely, Erika Jepperson
