Wow 2023! How can that be? Hard to believe it's February of the New Year already.
We now have 186 members of which 21 are new. I think that's amazing. This morning we held the New Members Brunch and it was so nice to meet these lovely women eager to get involved with the club. I know current members will go out of their way to make them feel welcome.
It's been 4 months since I became President of this wonderful club. I thank the board for their unending support and all of the kind words I receive from you. We are a group of amazing women. We have accomplished so much in these 4 months -the Arts and Crafts Festival with record breaking numbers, reinstated the Sip 'N Chats and Reel Time, celebrated the Christmas Season with a delicious lunch and sing-along at Austin's Oceans One. The Boutique Auction was a rousing success with record Sales numbers and the addition of the Boutique Buzz!
In November we held a simple but moving Mass for our Deceased Members honoring those members who have passed and in January we celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton our Patron Saint.
The Irish Soda Bread Sale will be the weekend of March 11th/12th. Denise Lee will have the pans and instructions at the March 2nd General Meeting.
Plans for our Spring Fashion Eggstravaganza, March 25th at Pawleys Plantation are well under way. Fashions are by Chicos, with Lunch, Basket Raffle, Silent Auction and Door Prizes. Tickets are $40. Menu options are: Chicken Caesar Salad; Cobb Salad with ham, cheese, bacon and hard boiled eggs; Vegan Veggie Boat served warm and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert! Tickets are selling fast.

Mary Anne Fox is looking for volunteers for the Simple Supper, March 31st. There will be a sign-up sheet at the March 2nd General Meeting.
A reminder that even though our General Meetings start at 11:00 AM we invite you to come early to socialize and meet our new members and to check out the Sign-up sheets for the various activities.
Stay tuned for more events in April, May and June.
Once again, thank you all for your support.
He (God) only sees the Heart. (Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton)
