In this season of newness and rebirth, I wanted to share quotes from some of the world’s most recognizable and influential women who spent their lives making a difference in the lives of others. And even though I do not have direct quotes from you, the members of Newcomers & Friends of Lexington, I know from working with you over the past two club years that each of you could provide similar thoughts if you chose to express them either aloud or in writing.

I have experienced the love and care you have for the club in the recruiting of new members and startups of new activities; and in the love and care you have for one another in times of personal need and growth, and, above all, in those times when you “just wanna have fun!”

It will soon be time to select a nearly new board of directors to lead our club for the next year. If elected by the members attending the June 11 luncheon, there will be a mix of current board members along with some new officers and directors – all of whom will need the love and care you have shown in other instances as we move forward into some exciting times for our club. The list of the board of director candidates can be found in ENews and on our website News / Articles. 

Also, our constitution and bylaws have been revised to reflect the changes and growth our club is experiencing. The revised documents have been linked to the ENews and you can access it online by logging in and selecting "Documents" from the Governance dropdown menu on the main navigation bar. Please spend time perusing these for a clearer understanding of how our organization operates.

I have mentioned the June Luncheon….if you have not yet signed up to attend, there is still plenty of time. It will once again be held at the Lexington Country Club. The date is June 11, and the time is 11:30am. Check out the published brochure for all the details. And you may now register online and pay by credit card (or mail in your check if that is your preference). June Luncheon

A quotation from author Emily Bronte best expresses my thoughts as we continue to move forward as a club,

“May is the month of expectation, the month of wishes, and the month of hope.”

See you in the sunshine!
