Chatter Oct 2011

Hello Members!

A big thanks goes out to Pamela Duckworth for hosting our October “Welcome Back” social that was held on October 27^th.  We had 3 new members attend the meeting and we welcome them to the club!  Thanks to Kristen Jervey for coordinating this event!

Jen McVay is busy coordinating the November 13^th Turkey Trot race.  We look forward to attracting lots of runner/walkers to Norwell again this year.  With use of a timing company, many runners use this race to qualify for other races.

Pat Bigger has offered to chair the wine tasting at Black Rock Country Club.  Thetentative date is Friday, March 30th.  More information will be sent out soon.  Her most important request is for members to try to think of one business with whom you have a connection that may be willing to donate to our silent auction.   This event was very successful last year.  A huge thanks goes out to Pat for coordinating the wine tasting which will enable the Women’s Club to continue to make generous donations to local charities.

The club also donated an Adirondack chair to Nick Metzger (the middle school and high school PTOs also donated another chair).  Hanover’s Unfinished Business was kind enough to sell them to me at cost which was a huge saving.  Nick went into the hospital on September 21^st for a bone marrow transplant.  The transplant was successful but he still has a long road of recovery for the next 9 months.  He will miss his entire sophomore year at Norwell High.  He has to be isolated from most people since his immune system is very weak and he is very susceptible to illness even though we may not feel sick.  His family was going to purchase 2 new chairs for Nick to sit out front to get outside for fresh air and later this spring possibly be able to visit with friends outside.   He will keep up with his school work at home with his family’s help and a tutor.   I have started a meal chain for those that know the family and would like to donate a dinner some time during this long road to recovery.  The link is listed below.  Please feel free to pass it along!
