A Bounty of Ways to Connect, Explore & Enjoy!
As we wait for the crisp days of fall to arrive, we’re sa
voring these last warm days of summer and enjoying the bounty of the season. And bounty is a wonderful word for Newcomers & Friends. It means abundance, generosity, and kindness—all qualities that have been on full display in our club.
Our Volunteer & Outreach group recently completed its final meal preparation for families staying at the local Ronald McDonald House. This was the third meal made possible by the proceeds from a successful club fundraising effort. The abundance of love was evident in the generous personal and financial support members provided during the fundraiser, while an abundance of enthusiasm filled the kitchen as members eagerly volunteered to prepare and deliver the meals.
And the group’s next bountiful act of service will be the CROP Hunger Walk on October 11.
Bounty also describes the many members who generously share their time, talents, and ideas with our club. In just the past few weeks, we’ve celebrated the arrival of a brand-new book club, Literary Ladies, a new ladies’ wine group, Wine Down Wednesday, and a movie discussion group. Each new activity adds another opportunity to connect, make friends, and share something you enjoy with others.
There is one final—and very important—element of bounty: your voice.
You will soon receive an invitation to participate in a club survey. We hope you will take a few minutes to thoughtfully share your ideas and experiences. Help us discover whether our abundance of activities, opportunities, and resources is being distributed in ways that best serve our members.
Are we on the right path with what we offer, what we do, and who we are as a club? Your feedback will help us answer those questions and shape the year ahead.
So when that survey arrives, don’t delay—please take a few minutes to complete it. Your voice is an important part of our club’s bounty, and we truly want to hear it

President, Newcomers & Friends of Central Kentucky
