President’s Notes March 20

Dear Members,

Thank you to those few that made it to the March business meeting. It was a terribly rainy night and I know several people were involved in bailing out their basements.

A few very important dates are coming up with the Bunny Breakfast scheduled for Saturday morning, March 27^th at 8:30 am at the Norwell Middle School cafeteria; as well as the Annual Fashion Show on Thursday, April 8^th at 6:30pm at Indian Pond Country Club. Both events are great community events and I urge everyone to participate. I know the breakfast is probably more centered on the young children, but please contact Jessica Chase if you can help with set-up, baking, working or clean-up.

We all need to get out for a fun ladies night at the Fashion Show! This year’s event sounds even more elaborate and glamorous than last year’s huge success. Tickets are on sale on our website and there are a limited amount of schwag bags with many goodies inside – so buy your ticket early! Don’t forget that the cost of the ticket increases after April 1^st and no tickets are being sold at the door. This is even more incentive to get on-line now!

The role of the President remains open for the Club next year. This role, although it sounds demanding is not a difficult one. Each committee is self sufficient and runs the individual events smoothly due to the support of the members. The President just has to be the center ‘go to” person with questions to point others in the right direction. Please consider this – it is a very worthwhile cause we are all involved in and we all need to share in the management of it.

The April meeting is scheduled for Monday night, April 12^th at the home of Pat Bigger, 2 Loring Drive at 7:30 pm. Please contact Pat at Tpbigger@aol.com to let her know if you will be bringing appetizer, dessert or beverage.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me any time.

Warmest Regards,

Nancy L. Bailey ~ President 781-987-1266 Nancy.bailey@rocklandtrust.com
Karin Gilmartin ~ Vice President 781-659-4876 Karingilmartin@rsmi.com
Karen Reynolds ~ Vice President 781-924-1897 kmrseattle@yahoo.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
Our next meeting will be on March15th at the Middle School at 7:30 pm.

Youth Dances
The next Middle School dance is on March 26th from 7:30 – 10:00 pm at the Town Hall. Please contact Diane Daly at diane.daly@comcast.net or Dianne Malloy at dimalloy@yahoo.com if you can chaperone. 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!

Fashion Show

The big show is only a couple of weeks away! Tickets are selling fast. Front Row Seats are sold out as are all of the ads. Hurry to get your ticket: the first 300 tickets get the incredible Schwag Bag, and you can take advantage of special pricing before April 1!

The stars will be out in Kingston at Indian Pond Country Club on Thursday, April 8. Walk the red carpet, smile for the paparazzi, have your photo taken with J.Lo and other “faux celebrities” who may look a bit familiar! We have many surprises in store and you won’t believe what’s in the silent auction! Attire is “Hollywood” so that can mean anything from a fancy long gown to jeans and a fashion tee. Just have fun with it! We are all stars on this night!

Go on-line at www.norwellwomensclub.org and tell all your friends too!

For more information, contact Heather at creel35@comcast.net. See you in Hollywood!

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. 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).

Year End Dinner

When: Tuesday, June 15^th, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.

Where: Sally Schiller’s home, 150 Lincoln Street, Norwell

We are in the process of planning the details of the year end dinner, but wanted to at least pass along the date, time and place so that you can be sure to put it on your calendars. Sally has graciously offered to hold it at her home so we are going to keep it casual and local this year! It is going to be a partial potluck! We are going to ask members to bring an appetizer, dessert or bottle of wine and then have the dinner portion catered. “Tickets” will be on sale in April and can be purchased on the Norwell Women’s Club website. The price is yet to be determined but will be very reasonable. We hope to see you all there! Please call or email Melanie (meljo_bc95@msn.com) or Sally (kschill@comcast.net) with any questions.

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. Please note that Micci is looking for a volunteer to take this minimal commitment assignment over for next year.

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.
