Dear Members and Friends,

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with rest, sunshine, and time with family and friends.  As the summer winds down, our board is excited to return to our regular routines and reconnect with all of you.

Our upcoming meetings and activities are already in motion, and I look forward to your participation as we begin a fresh and productive season together.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your exceptional work on our June 20th Celebration commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence.  This milestone event required dedication, coordination, and creativity.  I want to thank our Special Events team; Tressie Wilkins, Peggy McGinness, Nina Caron, Betsy Mahan, Catherine Brouwer, Donna Mayfield and Carol Fogle.  You all showed professionalism, teamwork and commitment to making this celebration truly extraordinary.   

Our club extends sincere appreciation to Betsy Mahan for her outstanding work in developing and managing both our website and our newsletter.  Her commitment to excellence and her steady reliability has strengthened our communication and enriched our community.  Thank you, Betsy!

We ‘re pleased to announce that Congressman Kevin Kiley will be joining us for a Town Hall Meeting to discuss current legislative issues, community priorities, and matters of importance to our region.  This event provides an opportunity to hear directly from our representative and to engage in meaningful dialogue.

We encourage all members and guests to attend and participate.  Your questions, insights, and presence contribute greatly to our community.  Please confirm details with trusted sources if needed, and feel free to share this invitation with others who may wish to join us. We look forward to seeing you there.

The November election is racing toward us, and this is our moment to bring the energy.  Volunteers fuel the excitement, the momentum, and the personal connections that actually get people to the polls.  A quick conversation, a friendly reminder, or a shared link can be the spark that pushes someone to vote.  When we show up with enthusiasm like talking, texting, knocking, reminding, we help turn motivation into action and action into turnout.

This is the time to rally your friends, your neighbors, your group chats, your community.  Your voice has power.  Use it, share it and help make this election one where everyone shows up.

With gratitude,

Terri Lyn Alexander, President
