 Pauline Trautman

 
 

Hello Ladies,

 

I am happy to say we are underway with some of our events.  We need to enter into this phase slowly and carefully.  If you are going to an event, please wear your mask.    

I know these are unusual times for us all.  Thankfully, at this time I have not heard of anyone I know having Corona Virus (COVID19).   I hope every one of our members is safe and healthy.

 

This year’s Board voted to hold our Joint Board Meetings quarterly.  The first meeting will be in January, 2021.  We feel it is prudent not to gather at this time in large groups, hence the delay until January.  If you have a prospective member who is interested in joining at this time, please have them contact Jeanne Deiger, our Web Trainer, and she will give her an overview of our website.

 

We are excited to be holding our Luncheon at Bonterra Dining and Wine Room on August 27.   If you feel comfortable attending please sign up on the web site.

Stay healthy and safe.  We will get through this trying time together.


  




VP of Membership
Susan Brandenburg
 

Thanks to all who renewed their membership!  We really appreciate you. We know there is still a lot of uncertainty about when and how groups will begin to meet. But it will happen and by renewing your membership you will be ready.  If you haven’t renewed it is not too late! If you have any problems please contact me and I will help you get renewed.  

If you are out and about and meet new ladies be sure to invite them to give us a look.  New Friends of Carolina is a great place to make new and lasting friends.
