President’s Notes April 2010
|
Dear Members,
The recap of the Bunny Breakfast showed the event earned a whopping $1,081! This exceeded the budgeted amount of $800 – thank you for all the hard work put into the organization by both Jessica Chase and Sara McCullough. The Norwell Recreation Department held their final Egg Hunt right after the breakfast. At this last meeting there was much discussion about whether or not the NWC should continue this tradition of the Egg Hunt. There seems to be a consensus that we should continue this fun and community oriented event. As with any event, however, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! We need someone to sign up to chair a committee for the breakfast, and another to chair a committee for the egg hunt. It seems that the community loves the event – but we need everyone to help out. Please let me, or one of the Board Members, know if you would be willing to chair these wonderful events.
The recap of the Fashion Show was preliminary due to the fact the meeting took place only two business days after the Show. It was an amazing night – I hope everyone was able to make it. Thank you so much to Heather Creel and her committee members who worked tirelessly to make this event a night to remember! It was not only a large fundraiser for our club but also a different, fun, stylish and enjoyable evening. We will have the final figures soon to discuss with our donations committee and membership.
Our donations committee, head by Karen Reynolds will be meeting soon to discuss a direction for the funds we have raised this year. Please make sure any requests for donations have been submitted. Pat Bigger will also be meeting soon with her scholarship committee to make decisions on the recipients of the NWC awards.
Our year is wrapping up and we need to focus on next year. The thought has been introduced to perhaps have one of the large events each year – so as to not burn out our supporters (both financially and the volunteers). Perhaps we should re-introduce the wine tasting next year and take a break from the fashion show? No year’s schedule is cast in stone – please consider volunteering and heading up a new event, or taking on one of the traditional ones. It is very rewarding being a volunteer and giving of your time and energy to support the wonderful causes the NWC has supported for years.
The May meeting is scheduled for Monday night, May 17th at the Norwell Middle School at 7:30 pm. Please join us for this final meeting to discuss our donations for the year and our plan for next year.
Our year-end dinner has also been scheduled. Sally Schiller will host the event on June 15th at 7:00pm at her home at 150 Lincoln Street, Norwell. Please go on-line and register for this night. The cost is $25/pp and can be paid either on-line or by mailing a check payable to the Norwell Women’s Club to Sally Schiller at her address above. The night will be fun and casual – please come and wrap up another productive fundraising year!

Youth Dances
The next Middle School dance is on May 21st 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!

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
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.
