President’s Notes
January 2010
Happy New Year!
I hope that everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season. Thank you to everyone who attended Tuesday night’s meeting and welcome to the new members!
I am asking everyone to contact Karin Gilmartin (karin.gilmartin@rsmi.com) or Lisa Murphy (emurd65a@comcast.net) to purchase tickets for you individually or to buy a team! We need everyone to join in the fun of the evening! It will be a casual atmosphere with good food, a lot of laughs and an overall great time – all of which will benefit our fundraising goals. This has been a difficult year for many individuals and families, but we must remember that there are several local charities which depend upon the donations from our Club to help them out. The seniors at Norwell High School benefit from our fundraising as well – so let’s get out there and bowl!!!!!!!
Membership dues are due. The yearbook will be published soon, and if you want your information in the Yearbook dues need to be paid. You can mail your $30 check to the Norwell Women’s Club c/o Jessica Chase, Membership Chair. We are still searching for additional members – so let’s spread the word!
Our next meeting will be hosted by Susan Scheller on February 11th at 7:30pm. Susan lives at 116 Meeting House Lane. Please contact Susan at trilogyusa@msn.com to let her know that you will be coming and whether you can bring an appetizer, dessert or wine.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me any time.
Warmest Regards,
Nancy L. Bailey ~ President 781-987-1266 [1]Nancy.bailey@ rocklandtrust.com

_Membership Update_
Please go on line and pay your membership dues! The annual yearbook will be created soon and anyone who has not paid will not have their information published. This is an invaluable directory of friends and associates used by many to network. You may also send your check for $30 to Jessica Chase (30 Wildcat Lane). Your quick response will make her job easier to compile the current members for the printing of the 2009-2010 Yearbook.
Next Meeting – New Members Meeting
Our next meeting will be on February 11th at the home of Susan Scheller at 7:30 (116 Meeting House Lane). Please RSVP to Ellen Allen at 659-8120 or at ellenrob@comcast.

Prizes will be awarded to the winning teams along with the highest scoring Male and Female bowlers of the evening. Tickets will be on sale at the Holiday Meeting this Thursday. They can be purchased individually or as a team (6 bowlers). Tickets can also be purchased after the meeting by contacting Karin Gilmartin at karingilmartin@comcast.net or Lisa Murphy at emurd65a@comcast.net.

Youth Dances
The 7th and 8th grade dance committee is looking for 6 volunteers to chaperone the 7th and 8th grade dance on Friday, January 22nd from 7:10 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. If you can help, please contact Diane Daly at diane.daly@comcast.net or Dianne Malloy at dimalloy@yahoo.com. The dances remain one of the club’s major fundraisers, and much help is needed for their success. Please also encourage your friends who have 7th and 8th graders that their help is always welcome. Thanks in advance for your help!

Bunny Breakfast
The Annual Bunny Breakfast is scheduled for Saturday March 27th from 8:30-9:45 followed immediately by the Norwell Rec Center’s egg hunt. We are currently looking for volunteers for the planning committee and for the event itself. Please contact Cristina McCullough (cristina_mcc928@yahoo.com) or Jessica Chase (jmchase2@comcast.net) if you would like to be on the planning committee, can volunteer to bake or buy items for the breakfast or if you are able to volunteer for set-up/clean-up or are able to help during the event (or if you have teenage children who would like to volunteer).
Norwell Knoll
It has been a tradition for many years for members of the Norwell Women’s Club to provide snacks on the first Monday morning of each month to the residents of the Norwell Knoll on Washington Street for a coffee social. Since we are no longer able to provide our own baked goods per order of the Health Department, the Women’s Club provides funding each month to Micci Fitsgibbons to purchase and deliver the baked goods.
The Closet
Looking for volunteers to work in the Closet located at the Town Hall 3rd floor on Thursdays from 2 – 3:30. Please contact Micci Fitzgibbons (miccifitz@aol.com) or Chris Gillis (seagirley@aol.com) to sign up.
Publicity
Members are welcome to submit items for publication to Patti Nelson, marshman59@aol.com or781-659-6620 for the Norwell Mariner, a minimum of two weeks prior to the publication coming out on Thursday. Please indicate if you would like to run the announcement/item just that once or several times leading up to the event (I can usually tell by what it is). Should you want something to be included on the cable channel, please do the same. For other publications (e.g. Patriot Ledger), include the appropriate email address for submission.
